Virginia rodrigues AFRO-BRAZIL
​
At the crossroads of lyrical song, gospel and Afro-Brazilian repertoire, VirgÃnia Rodrigues transcends the distinction between scholar and popular. His unique timbre and his great sensitivity leaves no one indifferent. This very pure voice charms with the mysteries of the pains that inhabit it.
​
Her latest album, "Cada voz é uma mulher", Virginia Rodrigues calls on Afro-Portuguese-speaking female composers ** and performs their songs by weaving a dialogue in the ancestral nature of their music, between Brazil, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Portugal and Angola. The great singer returns to her song, after centuries of African music, segregation and contempt for the sacred feminine.
​
** Sara Tavares, Mayra Andrade, Aline Frazão, Lena Bahule, Luedji Luna, among others.
