New Single

Mandinga ma Mescrinha
ft. Mamani Keita

Miroca Paris single cover Madinga ma Mescrinha

First single of new album BIA


Miroca Paris kicks off with a statement first single of his upcoming album BIA: a captivating track of childhood memories, that ascends into celebration of deep African roots, set to the famous carnival of his city Mindelo.

With Mandinga ma Mescrinha the artist invites you to a scene that made a lasting impression on him growing up on the Atlantic islands of Cabo Verde. Each year his island comes alive with a renowned, elaborate, colorful Carnaval that also has a darker element.
In honor of their West African continental ancestors the locals dress up as Mandinga's - painted in black, wearing nose rings, waving with swords - terrifying and chasing children away.
In this upbeat track that connection to the continent is emphasized through the collaboration with special guest Malian star vocalist Mamani Keita, through rhythms of the mainland, lyrics sung in Bambara and the characteristic sounds of the Ngoni.

The artist’s thoughts
on releasing his live album:

“I wanted to share that energy of a live concert, but also I wanted to share what my songs have evolved into since the release of the studio album. With each rehearsal, each show, I explore deeper and am inspired to try new things.
Now everybody can enjoy it!” - Miroca Paris
