Cordas Do Sol is a cornerstone of Cape Verdean music, rooted in Santo Antão and formed in 1994 by a close-knit group of friends. The ensemble fuses traditional styles like morna, mazurka, cola-sanjom, and coladeira with contemporary arrangements, earning acclaim across Cape Verde and beyond. In 2009, Ceuzany Pires joined the group, contributing to its evolving sound before pursuing a solo career from 2013 to 2017. The band’s 2011 Cabo Verde Music Awards sweep showcased their versatility and artistry, including Best Kola Sanjon, Best Music of the Year, and Best Acoustic Album.
