Since his debut album in 1962, recorded in Dakar, Senegal, Adriano Goncalves "Bana" has remained one of the most beloved Cape Verdean singers to emerge from Cape Verde. A master at interpreting the deeply mournful laments of Morna, Bana is a highly revered singer and the artist most instrumental to the introduction of Cape Verdean music to Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Angola and Portugal.
