    Suzanna Lubrano

Suzanna may have started out as a golden girl with an angelic voice, but since the release of her debut solo album, Without You In This World (Sem bó nes mund), she’s become even more - a voice for young women striving to reach their goals. In a number of countries, her concerts are usually sold out the minute they go on sale and her CD’s are some of the best sellers in the Lusophone market.

Born in the Cape Verdean Islands, Suzanna Lubrano and her parents moved to the Netherlands when she was four.
