Djodje is one of Cape Verde鈥檚 most successful pop stars. Following in the footsteps of Nelson Freitas, he blends zouk and kizomba with Cape Verde鈥檚 own coladeira rhythms. His sound is winning fans all over the lusophone world, and he鈥檚 keen to get exposed to anglophone audiences too, and share in the global success that Afrobeats musicians are now enjoying.

Djodje also talks about his new song Preto, which attempts to reclaim the word for black in Portuguese and turn it from an insult into a badge of pride.
