The optimistic, humorous Creole jazz vocals of charismatic Portuguese singer-songwriter Carmen Souza are inspiring and uplifting. Created with her longtime musical partner, bassist and producer
Theo Pas'Cal, the tenth album Interconnectedness is about humanity and how we are all connected. The pandemic period gave Souza a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability. She also started thinking about what
… values are important for humanity. Souza is more inventive and versatile than ever, with her sensual scat-like vocals and with fantastic bandmates. The album was recorded between Lisbon and London in different lineups. Her Cape Verdean heritage is noticeable in her self-written Creole lyrics and afro jazz style. She also covers songs like My Baby Just Cares For Me (Nina Simone), Pata Pata (Miriam Makeba) and Sous Le Ciel De Paris. (SvdP)more
