2008 release of Mayra Andrade's debut album. A Cape Verdean born in Cuba, she had lived in Senegal, Angola, Germany and Portugal as well as Cape Verde before settling in France. Songlines praised Navega as "an astonishingly mature debut that satisfies more deeply with every listen." All That Jazz summed it up as "totally gorgeous." Likening Mayra Andrade to Cesaria Evora, The Independent hailed her as "the new diva of Cape Verde." The BBC deemed her the World Music Newcomer of the Year, and weeks later she made her U.S. concert debut at Carnegie Hall, New York City, kicking off an eastern North American tour. Since then Mayra Andrade has thrived in her career. Navega is both its beginning and an early triumph.
