Lura is part of a new generation of Cape Verdean musicians rediscovering the hidden traditions of her ancestral homeland. Her music is inspired by the styles of Santiago - the most African of the islands - as opposed to the more Portuguese dominated islands that produced such legendary singers as Cesaria Evora. On M'Bem di Fora, Lura gives a dazzling performance of provocative, sensual and spicy music as her voice breathes life into the wide range of songs on the album - produced and arranged by Nando Andrade, who produced Cesaria's last album. With a sound a bit sunnier than the fado-dominated Portuguese singers, Lura incorporates elements of R&B and Funk into her sound.
