Carmen Souza, born in Lisbon in a family of Cape Verdeans, and based in London, is one of Europe's most popular jazz singers. Moringe, from her album Port' Inglês, relates an anecdote told by her father about a linguistic misunderstanding that occurred during the British presence in Cape Verde between a man from the island of Santiago who sold pottery in the port and a British sailor. In the spirit of storytelling, this song is almost like a lullaby that evokes a childhood memory in the listener.
