Music

Maria Inácia Gomes Correia (18 July 1925 – 4 February 2011) was a Cape Verdean traditional singer of finaçon. She began singing at age 17, and recorded three albums and multiple singles throughout her career, either as a solo artist or as part of a duo. Gomes also performed at festivals in Cape Verde and abroad. A book about her was published in 1985. Gomes was illiterate and could not write her own songs, which were improvised and recorded on Compact Discs.
