Brazil and Cape Verde have always shared strong cultural and human ties. Both nations were once Portuguese colonies, and Portuguese is their official language. Cape Verdean diva Nancy Vieira and Brazilian singer-songwriter Fred Martins, originally from Rio de Janeiro, met in 2013. Since then, the pair have collaborated on numerous concerts and recordings, culminating in this, their first album release. The third track features the charango, but otherwise the album consists solely of Nancy's vocals and Fred's vocals and guitar. The album features four original compositions by Freddy, alongside a bolero by Cuban composer Frank Domínguez, works by Cape Verdean composers, and a piece by Portuguese singer Amélia Muge. Regarding the selection of tracks, Nancy and Freddy consciously aimed to choose pieces that, with an eye on the present era, would evoke the importance of mutual consideration and empathy among fellow human beings living on the same planet.
'When considering the state of the world and era we live in today, we wished for people worldwide to show mutual consideration and empathise with each other based on love. It was with this wish that we decided on the album's tracks' (Nancy & Freddy)

Featuring Cape Verdean singing, known as 'morna' - a style rivalling Portuguese fado in its melancholy - and guitar performances rooted in bossa nova. This work masterfully blends the unparalleled beauty inherent in the music of Cape Verde and Brazil, while also being imbued with sentiments we wish to convey in this era.
