Africa-Press – Cape verde. Tété Alhinho launches today his most recent work with the morna “Minduca”, by Cape Verdean composer B. Léza.
In a statement, the composer and performer says that “Minduca” is part of the mornas she learned since she was very young.
It was part of a repertoire that her mother liked to sing, accompanied on the piano by the then little Teté.
Thus, the song will be the first in a repertoire that will make up his next album, an album in the form of a tribute and wrapped in love that will be dedicated to his parents.
“In fact, Tété Alhinho has been preparing musical material for release for some time now. However, he argues that all music has its own moment of being born”, says the text.
The same source says that she had her “now” at the insistence and impulse of her friend Maria João, who, since hearing Tete singing the theme for the first time at a tocatina in Macau, decided that she would do everything to make the recording happen.
Tete Alhinho says that her friend Maria João, an essential part of this process, launched a “amigofounder” to achieve this purpose.
The technical details of our work include Kaku Alves in the arrangement and musical direction and steel guitar; Paulino Soares Vieira (Palinh) on the nylon guitar and Luís Firmino on the cavaquinho.
