A.k.a. Miroca Paris

Full name: Ademiro Jose Paris Miranda. Born Mindelo, Sao Vincente island, Cabo Verde, 1979. Multi-instrumentalist specialized as percussionist and drummer, singer and guitar player. Miroca Paris — You’ve probably seen him perform live several times without knowing it was him. For 12 years the Cape Verdian multi-instrumentalist toured the world as Cesária Évora’s percussionist. After her passing he furthered his career and excelled playing alongside and sharing the stage with renowned international artists such as Angélique Kidjo, Aline Frazão, Bana, Boy Gê Mendes, Camané, Celina Pereira, Cuca Rosetta, Nancy Vieira, Sara Tavares, Teófilo Chantre, Tito Paris, Cesaria Evora Orchestra and many others. Now the time has come for Paris to do as the ‘Barefoot Diva’ always wished him to do: to share his own music with the world. To sing his heartfelt stories front and center, while accompanying himself on guitar - like he used to - growing up in the Cape Verde Islands with his toes in the sand. ‘Mund Amor’ is the first single off his debut album set to be released fall 2017, carrying the simple yet profound title: D'Alma (soul). Miroca comes from the musical family lineage of 'Paris': grandson of 'Knick' Paris, nephew of Tito and Toy (Antonio) Paris.
