About Lusafrica
Lusafrica is a record label focused on world music, with a catalogue built around Cabo Verdean and African artists. It has released albums by Cesária Évora, Bonga, Lura and Oliver N'Goma, and in 2000 it bought the masters of the Bonga albums Angola 72 and Angola 74.
The label earns from its recordings and catalogue. It signed a licensing deal with BMG (later Sony) in 1993. The company's artists are linked by Cape Verdean, Gabonese, Malian and Angolan music traditions, and its catalogue extends to musicians connected to Cuba.
Lusafrica was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Paris. It was created by José da Silva, who also founded the group Sun of Cap, and it was launched as a label to release Cesária Évora's work.
