"I consider myself a "nomad", crossing the desert of everyday, passing the headlands of this world of routine, trying to reach the artistic peak and to push ever further the limits of spiritual life. To my roots in the islands of Cape Verde, to the history of my people whipped by slavery, to my cultural diversity with infuences from all horizons, I am indebted be mixed race, not only of body but also of soul and spirit.
