Nelson Freitas

DJ Edu gets a taste of sounds from Cape Verde and South Africa with Nelson Freitas and DJ Sabby.

DJ Edu’s guests this week are Nelson Freitas, Cape Verde’s most popular musical export of the moment, and DJ Sabby, taste-maker at youth music station YFM in South Africa.

Nelson Freitas picks the week’s classic track: Sodade, by the legend that is Cesaria Evora. And DJ Sabby shines the TIA spotlight on Gigi Lamayne, a talented young female rapper making inroads into South Africa’s male-dominated hip hop scene.
