22: 22 is the title of the first album of Juliata Cohen, singer with African roots, born in Paris, who lives in Cape Verde and who remembered that her grandmother told him that this schedule was a good moment to tell a story or to pray. In love with fortuitous meetings, Juliata Cohen recorded this disc released this week, as at home, with simplicity. While she was between two stops, she was contacted.
Elusive, subtle, secret. Difficult to know where Juliata Cohen is. The journey to its DNA, the love of song and the world sound system in inheritance. “” My music, she comes from the house, we grew up with my uncle who is a vinyl collector. He educated us musically from our first steps. We listened to soul, blues and music from around the world. Immense cultural wealth for us She explains.
Seek simplicity. From their first meeting, the poet and musician Cap-Verdien Mario Lucio proposed to Juliata Cohen to make this disc.

After two weeks of sharing and musical exchange, he said to me: “Listen, I want to produce your album and record it in a studio in Lisbon (Cervantes.-NDLR studio)”, “continues the singer.
