ALVARA
Alvarita Benedito Lucungo commonly known by the name “Alvara”, is a 16-year-old Angolan-Namibian singer, songwriter, composer and producer. Specializing in Soul, Jazz, Folk Music & Alternative Rock.
She launched her very first album on the 29th of May this year and considering her young age, she feels very accomplished to have produced something so authentically herself. For her album she managed to work with the acclaimed Namibian artist Lize Ehlers. “Our notion of celebrities is that we feel that they are impossible to talk to. Speaking to her was easy and she made it so enjoyable as well.” Alvara isn’t afraid to claim what is there to gain from the musical industry, as well as equally giving back. She wants her music to be an emotional rollercoaster for her listeners. “I want listeners to feel and be taken on a journey.”
A lot of thought is put into the lyrical content of her songs. Every song she writes has a message and hopes that it either brings joy, laughter, tears and or arouse deep thoughts from her listeners. “I have been told that if you hear my song once, you will be humming it to yourself all day. I think that’s pretty awesome.”
