Mayra Andrade @ The Barbican

Mayra Andrade's topical, tropical, travelling pop reflects the life of the Cape Verdean singer songwriter. At the Barbican, Mayra invites us to rediscover songs from across her discography of five albums. She will be joined by Djodje Almeida on acoustic guitar.

Mayra is arguably the front-runner of the many talents that have emerged from Cape Verde over the years. Her vividly-hued, multi-layered music provides a warm and adventurous unpredictability as she sings in Cape Verdean creole, English and Portuguese. Mayra's pop spans the world from Western romanticism, Southern sensuality, domestic reggae and Afrobeats.

Tickets from £25-35 can be purchased at https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2024/event/mayra-andrade

Stuart and Fausto have booked seats in the Stalls (C32 and C33). You might like to buy tickets nearby.

We can meet at 7 pm for a drink (soft or alcoholic as you wish) and if it's not too late afterwards, stay for another drink and gig post-mortem.

If this is your first Meetup group, please don't worry. We’ll try to make you feel welcome and introduce you to other members of the group as soon as you arrive 🙂
