Di Korpu Ku Alma is het 2005 debuut album voor het Lusafrica label van de Kaap-Verdiaanse zangeres Lura vol met Morna, Funana en Batuque.
Born in Lisbon in 1975, Lura discovered her Cape Verdean identity (while remaining fully Portuguese) through the Creole she learnt with her friends at school.
Lura´s extraordinary voice shines with the dazzling sheen of newly-polished metal among the others on this record, which includes some of the greatest performers in the vast Portuguese-speaking world: Marisa Monte, Caetano Veloso, Teresa Salgueiro, Filipa Pais, Djavan and Bonga.
Lura´s new album, `Di Korpo ku Alma` (Of body and soul) fully justifies one´s most optimistic predictions. A voice we want to hear on both joyful and sad occasions, a voice that soothes us and sweeps us away.
