In a remote village in Angola, a group of farmer women pose for a farewell picture. They look sad but the serious faces are only due to the solemnity of the moment. The photographer doesn't speak their language. She asks the translator for the magic words to make them smile before pressing the camera shutter release. « Pwanga ni Puy ? » Light or obscurity ? And the women faces lit up with a broad smile : « Pwanga ! »
That's the name of our new album !!! Wishing you light, love, strengh and tenderness every time you listen to one of these 13 songs !!! ENJOOOOOY =)

about
Un moment de partage avec des gnawa du Maroc lui inspire la couleur de Saeli, nom bercé par les vents de sable de cette ode à la beauté de la naissance, celle du premier enfant.

Lúcia Carvalho est née en Angola mais grandit et mûrit en France. Son sens du rythme et sa langue maternelle, le portugais,
