Having recorded over thirty albums all of which are now considered "classics", Bana stands alone as both the master and the elder statesman of Cape Verdean music. His unique singing style, marked by beautifully timed melodic ritardandos and soulful embellishments have become the hallmark of both Morna and Coladera. Standing at nearly seven feet tall and having conquered the hearts of Cape Verdean music lovers for over 35 years, Bana is not only the "Giant" but also the "King" of Cape Verde Islands. 'Bana' is a new independent release not available elsewhere.
