TransCity has been working for Cape Verdean-Dutch artist Suzanna Lubrano in the fields of promotions and management. Although the achievements in the music scene are primarily to be credited to Suzanna herself, promotional support can of course help an artist in developing her career.
In general, TransCity has helped in:
Getting Cape Verdean pop music from the Dutch city of Rotterdam on the agenda of the mainstream press in the Netherlands, including full page articles in national newspapers like NRC Handelsblad and De Volkskrant and coverage in newsshows like NOVA, the Dutch equivalent of BBC’s Newsnight and many other print, RTV and online media.
Suzanna’s songs being the first Cape Verdean language pop songs to be programmed on mainstream music tv channels in the Netherlands, resulting in number one positions in the Urban Charts of the Box (MTV Networks) with both the songs Tudo Pa Bo and Nha Sonho.
Achieving coverage on Suzanna Lubrano in Dutch national TV shows like Barend & van Dorp, Pulse, SBS Shownieuws and others.
Achieving international media coverage, from the French international TV5 network to Portuguese RTP International, from CNN to BBC, from SABC to many others.
Her performance and victory at the Kora All African Music Music Awards was aired by over 70 TV networks in Africa and beyond and watched by a live TV audience of hundreds of millions.
Suzanna Lubrano has now signed a record deal in the United States, her international album release is due for late 2006.
