JOSSLYN “WORRIED” ABOUT THE STATE OF CAPE VERDE MUSIC
When taking a brief look at Cape Verde's current musical panorama on Anilton Levy's YouTube channel, the singer from Santo Antão denounced what she calls a true “xuxadera”, referring to the recent explosion on the Internet of pseudo-artists who “don't know how to sing and who are not even prepared to be on stage but who are deceived by the public themselves.”
But doesn't everyone have their space and right to sing and express themselves freely through music?
“That doesn't interest me” - defended Josslyn, who considers herself an “open-minded person” but unable to remain silent in the face of what she calls “the trivialization of Cape Verdean music”.
The singer also pointed the finger at the public, asking parents to educate their children musically because “music can also contribute to their growth”.
REACTIONS
Josselyn's words elicited, of course, very varied reactions from the public.
While some consider that “everyone has the right to earn their bread” even though they distort Cape Verdean music, others support it unconditionally, rebelling against what they call “the plague of MCs”.
Some, less dramatic, consider that everything is nothing more than a storm in a teacup as time will separate the wheat from the chaff, “eliminating” from history those who have no quality and who take the stage just for the sake of profit. , discarding the artistic component.
Finally, for others, the explosion of MCs - some with undeniable quality such as Prego Prego, MC Acontize or MC Distranka - the explosion of MCs, male and female, does not in the least jeopardize the quality of Cape Verde's music.
