Albertina Rodrigues Almeida (Titina)
- Música
Albertina Almeida Rodrigues, known as Titina Rodrigues, is one of the most authentic voices of Cape Verde, following the tradition of the greatest singers in the country. Born in the cultural capital of Mindelo, on the island of São Vicente, Titina was singing on the lap of the great master of Cape Verdean music, B. Leza, when she was only 6 years old. At the age of 12, she was performing in public and broadcast on radio stations. She recorded her first single when she was 15.
In 1993 she recorded her first album "Titina Canta B. Leza" who had a huge following in time and continued to be searched for this day.
Disenchanted by the record industry however, Titina avoided returning to the studio, preferring to spend the next decade playing live at cultural events and festivals around the world.
In 2006 she was decorated by the Government of Cape Verde for her contribution to culture.
