    “Mozambican nu-soul diva” (Time Out)

    “A fusion of sound which is timeless and universal, and defies the boundaries of definition and convention we are so accustomed to in the Western world” (Adelina Pereira)

    “Purely feline, sensual and ultimately jazzy” (Adelina Pereira)

    “Fado and Africa in the soulful voice of Maiuko” (Adelina Pereira)

    “Afro-jazz? Nu-soul? Afro-fado? Luso-zouk? Blues? To be honest, I don’t really much care! Call it what you will! All I know is that it’s great music, and it makes me feel good!” (Adelina Pereira)
