Neyna
June 16th
Neyna is one of the main references of Cape Verdean music today.
In 2023 she won the award for popular song of the year at the Cabo Verde Music Awards with the hit "Akanadja", which has more than 3 million streams on Spotify, but her first major recognition in the music industry came in 2020, when one of Cape Verde's biggest names, Nelson Freitas, invited Neyna to record "Na Bo Mon", a song that already has more than 6 million views on YouTube and which, in fulfilment of all expectations, ended up attracting the attention of the general public to Neyna. In 2024, Neyna collaborated with Supa Squad on the song "Contigo", and is now scheduled to make her debut on the new stage at Rock in Rio Lisbon.
