Miroca Paris: Island Rhythm Innovator

During his career spanning over 20 years, Cabo Verdean singer and multi-instrumentalist MIROCA PARIS performed with Cesária Évora for a decade, recorded a Grammy-winning album, toured with Madonna and now is flourishing on stage with his own music.
Drawing on his vast rhythmic knowledge, he’s created his own unique guitar-playing technique; forward driving, playful, surprising and fresh.
You can hear all that and more on his acclaimed debut album D’alma (‘from the soul) released in 2017, premiered at WOMAD and shared live on stage in four continents!
