Mario Lucio: Badyo [LusaAfrica]

Third solo release since his days as songwriter for Simentera. ‘Badyo’  but the first one to get an International release. On this he takes his Cape Verdean roots back to the arrival of the African slaves and the styles and influences they brought with them (he wears a chain around his neck instead of a tie on the cover image). It’s a grower this one with a subtle but telling rawness that soon involves you and brings you back for more, very good.
