Putumayo - Afro-Portuguesa by Putumayo (2025)

Afro-Portuguesa is a celebration of music that flows across the Atlantic, connecting Africa, Brazil, and other parts of the Lusophone world. This collection brings together artists from Cape Verde, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé & Príncipe, and Brazil—places that share a complicated history shaped by Portuguese colonization, but also a vibrant mix of cultures, rhythms, and stories.

Each song on this album tells a piece of that story—through danceable grooves, soulful melodies, and lyrics that speak to love, struggle, identity, and resilience.
