Chineke! Voices present the astonishingly rich and imaginative music of Portuguese composer Vicente Lusitano. Lusitano was the first black composer to be published in Europe and a key musical figure of the times. Lusitano’s music survives in manuscript, and has been researched and edited for this performance by Joseph McHardy.
