Lura's new album M'bem di Fora (I Come from Far Away) is released today on Times Square/4Q Records. The album draws on Lura's rural roots while revealing a side of Cape Verdean music that is new to most American audiences. She throws in a little R&B as a nod to her own generation and the result is fantastic. Add M'Bem Di Fora to your collection now.
