Ademiro “Miroca” Paris Miranda was nurtured in the musically rich culture of Cabo Verde, an archipelago off the coast of Senegal that is home to one of the world’s great music traditions. Raised in a musical family, he mastered many instruments at a very young age. He eventually moved to Lisbon, Portugal and joined the band of Cabo Verdean diva Cesaria Evora with whom he toured and recorded for more than a decade. While touring the world, playing at major festivals and venues worldwide and singing backing vocals, he quickly expanded his skills, forming the foundation for his own sound and guitar playing technique: forward driving and fresh.

During the pandemic, Miroca has been creating his 2nd album and is ready to hit the stage as soon as he can!
