Radio Kriola Ensemble
https://myspace.com/catarinadossantos
Vibrating with African, Brazilian and Portuguese grooves, Radio Kriola Ensemble is a spicy blend of renowned musicians gathered around Catarina dos Santos original music, and other repertoire of the African Diaspora in Lisbon. Guitarist Lúcio Vieira and percussionist Mick Trovoada are the groove masters, their playing imbued of their Cape Verdean and Angolan traditions. Radio Kriola smiles in the cusp of Southern Europe and Africa, dancing its grooves like no other, mirroring Lisbon’s mix of Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean. For our Green Note show, we’ll have special guest Tello Morgado, renowned percussionist in the London Jazz scene, and a master of Angolan music.
