ABOUT THE SONG
With Mandinga ma Mescrinha the artist invites you to a scene that made a lasting impression on him growing up on the Atlantic islands of Cabo Verde. Each year his island comes alive with a renowned, elaborate, colorful Carnival that also includes a different element:
In honor of their West African continental ancestors the locals dress up as Mandinga's - painted in black, wearing nose rings, waving with swords - terrifying and chasing children away.
In this upbeat track that connection to the continent is emphasized through the collaboration with special guest Malian star vocalist Mamani Keita, through rhythms of the mainland and the characteristic sounds of the Ngoni.

ENGLISH
I've been scared since I was little
They dressed up to walk the streets and scare me all in black.
I called for my mother.
I don't want to go out on the street because the Mescrinha and Mandinga are out there with their sword and crown of paper and feathers.

Oh... I know this is the story of our lives, it's our island's tradition.
But here come the Mescrinha and I'm going to run…
oh Mescrinha and Mandinga come towards me,
I called for my mother

I admire the Mandinga, have respect for the Mescrinha
and every year the Mandinga come

Mandinga is a force of nature
it’s in the roots of our culture.
all children fear the Mandingas
and the adults dance with them.

Because they (Mandingas) want to dance
because they (Mandingas) are in charge
I called for my mother

Oh oh Mescrinha, here they come
I'm going to run
here come the Mescrinhas
I don't want to be afraid anymore
oh Mescrinha and Mandinga
oh Mandinga and Mescrinha
oh Mescrinha and Mandinga
oh Mandinga and Mescrinha
