Suzanna Lubrano's Lasting International Appeal

May 26, 2013 7:31 AM

Zouk artist Suzanna Lubrano, barely out of her teens, came to the attention of the record-buying public when she began singing with Rabelados in 1996. Their first issue, Sukuro, began opening doors for Suzanna, who many record executives thought could have greater success as a solo artist.

She began releasing several singles during the latter half of the 90s and early 2000s. The music industry's faith in her talent and drawing appeal was affirmed in 2003 when she captured Best African Female Artist for the first time, winning the top honor again in the Online category in 2010.

The song also snagged Suzanna two awards at the Cabo Verde Music Awards in 2011.

Suzanna resides in the Netherlands, home of one of her biggest fan bases world-wide. She has achieved several chart toppers on FunX Radio there, as well as number-one hits on MTV.
