To celebrate the great voice of Cabo Verde, Ildo Lobo (1953 - 2004), Lusafrica is proud to present this 3CD Compilation, including his 3 most famous albums, put together in one single box: ?N?s Morna? (1996), ?Intelectual? (2001) and ?Inconditional? (2004). In his native Cape Verde, Ildo Lobo is seen as the archipelago's greatest singers, heir to a tradition shaped by Bana and popularized worldwide by Cesaria Evora. Lobo also has strong political commitments and his plain speaking is legendary. For years, he was the singer and star of the band Os Tubaroes, long viewed as Cape Verde's "official" band in the days of the Marxist government. As such, he regularly traveled abroad to represent his country. Os Tubaroes (The Sharks) became the ambassadors of Capeverdean music, exporting their funana, coladera and morna beats all over the world.
