It's been a few months since I last posted anything from my fellow BC alum Chachi, but in the intervening months he's become something of an international star. He's come into his own as a fixture in the Cape Verdean music scene, having flown over to the African island nation a couple of times this summer to perform at various concerts. The above photo should give you some sense of the crowds that he's been performing in front of, not too bad for a kid that began his music career in a dorm room with a 10 dollar mic and a pair of Gemini turntables.
Chachi just released his latest cd, Cape Verdean In America (named after one of his very first singles), a mix of hip hop, Portuguese, and African music. He calls the blend of styles "Catchupa Music" (Catchupa being a Cape Verdean stew of hominy, beans and fish). As with everything he's released up to this point it's well worth a look, so please take some time out to pick up a copy over at cdbaby.
Here's my favorite track off of Cape Verdean in America, featuring a sample from Grave Evora's Sabim:

And here's the video for it:
