Manuel Lopes Andrade, nicknamed Tcheka - a virtuoso guitarist with a velvet voice, a stunning smile and a charismatic stage presence. The softly-spoken singer-songwriter-guitarist was born to a violinist father on July 20th 1973. In 2005 he was awarded the prestigious Discoveries award that Radio France International (RFI) offers annually to help launch international careers. This was fitting recompense for Tcheka’s refined second album Nu monda. In November 2007, the Cape Verdian released his third album Lonji.
