Lusafrica releases a deluxe vinyl version of Elida Almeida's album Di Lonji this spring 2024. This limited edition will include a new track entitled Estanhadinha. Elida's cover of Cesaria Evora's 1991 album 'Mar Azul'. With Di Lonji, From far away, her fifth album, Elida Almeida measures the distance she has traveled since her beginnings... And offers a vibrant ode to her roots, to the small archipelago that gave birth to her and inspires her at every moment: Cape Verde. Eight years after her debut in 2014, the year she was discovered by producer José Da Silva - who is also responsible for introducing Cesaria Evora to the world - Elida Almeida measures how far she has come. Thus she names her 5th album Di Lonji, From far away.I come from very far away, she confirms. I come from a country that, a few decades ago, was not even on the world map... Above all, I come from the interior of the island of Santiago, from a countryside so deep, so remote, that most of its inhabitants never leave it. I have visited 50 countries, won many prizes, and spread my creations over the four continents... An extraordinary destiny, due to her talent and her tenacity. Elida is convinced that she owes this exceptional career to her solid roots, to her tutelary figures whom she honors with infinite tenderness on this record, a necklace of finely crafted intimate pearls.
