The Cacha Mundinho Quartet has its own sound, to honor the Lusophone world. In March 2020, the young singer and songwriter Joana Almeida arrived in Amsterdam from Porto and opened new "umbrellas" with the percussionist Sjahin During, Maripepa Contreras on oboe/duduk, Pedro Ivo Ferreira - on double bass, to establish Cacha Mundinho in searching the landscapes of the rich Lusophone music cultures, intertwining the sounds of the Lusophony world towards a new horizon.
lyrics
Flor de Cereja
Porque meu amor por ti é tão forte,
Se nem te posso ver, nem
te posso ouvir?
Porque és tu o prumo do meu norte,
Se as horas passam e eu
não sei pra onde ir?
Pra consumar esta dor,
Ver as raízes do mar,
Perder o
senso e o bom senso Que me amarga
Meu amor ecoa em toda a terra
Só
quando o partilho a cantar,
Esta saudade me larga
Crescem flores de cereja,
Quando me encostas na pele
Liberto o sabor de mel,
Afago o teu tom de fel
O
rio corre em segredo E traz o ouro na ida
Leva-me a ti em seguida
Na poesia
da vida
