Claiana

An inescapable figure in the underground scene, Claiana is the show personified in one individual. Born in São Nicolau, Cape Verde, but beyond any traditional music scene, Aguinaldo Conceição grew up absorbing all the musical diversity that the Atlantic has to offer, creating his own language with which he creates and sings his songs.  With a unique fingerprint that is hard to replicate but instantly recognisable, Claiana is an invitation to dance that will never leave anyone indifferent.

This performance forms part of the programme for the 2025 edition of Abril Febril.
