More summer exposure to music from the Lusophone world continued Saturday 24 July with Cape Verdean beauty Mayra Andrade and band live at the Barbican Centre. There was a change of support act as advertised and the audience were instead warmed up by Caribbean music legend Calypso Rose. It was clear she meant business when on making her grand entrance her shoes got stuck in her floor-length gown and she dealt with the problem by flinging them off unceremoniously. At 70 years old she hasn’t lost any of her fervour; she’s still partial to winding her hips, shaking her booty at the audience and the odd saucy innuendo.
