About Elida Almeida
Née en 1993 dans la ville de Pedra Badejo à Santa Cruz, dans l’île de Santiago au Cap-Vert, Elida Almeida fait ses premiers pas dans le milieu rural de Matinho, chez ses grands-parents. La mort prématurée de son père, qu’elle aime profondément, est une grande perte pour elle. C’est aussi la cause de son déménagement, avec sa mère, pour l’île de Maio où elle doit s’adapter à un environnement étranger. Pour autant, elle ne se laisse pas abattre par les difficultés de la vie: si elle se retrouve privée des couleurs de son enfance, elle sait se forger des rêves colorés. Sur l’île de Maio, elle étudie tout en aidant sa mère dans son travail de vendeuse ambulante. Et surtout, à l’église, elle découvre le chant. Elle propose même un programme à la radio locale. Elida aurait aimé être juge ou procureur, sans doute poussée par son sens de la justice et le désir d’aider ceux qui, comme elle, ont souffert de ne pouvoir accéder à des conditions de vie décente. Mais la musique est la source d’une véritable passion. De retour à Santa Cruz, déjà mère, elle s’occupe de son enfant et de ses jeunes frères tout en continuant à étudier. Faisant preuve d’une solide confiance en elle-même Elida se distingue des autres élèves en remportant chaque année différents prix au fil de ses études secondaires et supérieures. Mais la musique est son refuge intime. Elle signe sa première composition alors qu’elle est encore lycéenne. Elle y parle déjà de tristesse, mais aussi de ses rêves pleins d’espoir. Son premier album “Ora doci Ora margos” (Moments doux Moments amers) dépeint le vécu de la jeune femme, quand douceur et amertume l’attendaient à chaque étape de sa vie modeste. Auteur et compositeur de la majeure partie de ce premier disque, Elida Almeida chante avec une telle vérité qu’elle entraîne tous ceux qui l’écoutent et se reconnaissent dans son vécu. Sa voix puissante et grave captive l’oreille et la sensibilité, même des plus indifférents – comme si elle sortait directement du fond de son âme. Une voix joyeuse, encore juvénile, qui chante le blues d’une vie déjà difficile. En l’écoutant, on imagine facilement l’eau cristalline d’un ruisseau se faufilant dans la roche aride de l’île de Santiago, contournant les obstacles sur son passage, comme un défi permanent dans sa marche vers la mer, à l’image de ces « moments de joie et de peine » qui rythment la vie et le destin du peuple cap-verdien. Soutenues par les arrangements délicats du guitariste Hernani Almeida, cet album avec ses mélodies folk teintées des rythmes de Santiago (batuque, funana ou morna) est capable de briser toutes les frontières et de conquérir le monde. / Born in 1993 in the town of Pedra Badejo, Santa Cruz, on the Cape Verdean island of Santiago, Elida Almeida lived in her grandparents’ home in rural Matinho. When her adored father died before his time, she was devastated. As if the loss were not enough, she then had to leave all she knew behind and move with her mother to the unfamiliar island of Maio. But despite all this, Elida refused to let misfortune dampen her spirits. Her childhood may have seemed gray, but her dreams were bright and colorful. After school on Maio, she would help her mother, who was working as a street vendor, but above all, she learned to sing at church and even presented a local radio show. Elida had a strong sense of justice and thought to become a judge or district attorney to help people who, like her, were facing hardship through no fault of their own. But music was her great passion. She was already a mother by the time she returned to Santa Cruz, but still managed to continue her studies while looking after her child and little brothers. Her self-confidence was unshakable and she was an outstanding student, winning different prizes each year all through high school and college. Meanwhile, music remained her great comfort. The first song she wrote when still at high school already spoke of sorrow, but also reflected her soaring hopes and dreams. Elida’s first album, “Ora doci Ora margos” (Sweet Times Bitter Times), is based entirely on the singer’s early life and the sweet and bitter experiences that shaped her humble existence. Elida Almeida wrote the words and music of most of the songs on this first record and sings with a touching sincerity that will move all those who identify with her story. Even the most detached listener will be enchanted and engaged by her deep, powerful voice, which seems to spring from the innermost sanctum of her heart: animated, still youthful and steeped in the blues of her troubled childhood. As we listen, we can easily imagine the crystal water of a stream gushing over the arid, rocky landscape of the island of Santiago, weaving around the obstacles in its path as if overcoming one challenge after another on its way to the sea – like the “moments of joy and pain” that fill the lives and destinies of the people of Cape Verde. With its folk melodies enhanced by Santiago beats (batuque, funana and morna) and uplifted by the subtle arrangements of guitarist Hernani Almeida, this album has the power to roll back frontiers and conquer the world.
