Daughter of parents active members of the black movement in Brazil Luedji makes sure to carry her skin color and african roots in her music. Her own name makes this influence cristal clear Luedji was a queen of the Kingdom of Lunda an African confederation in Africa that occupied the territories that toda form Angola, The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia. Her music is in some way a representation of her African roots and her social position as a black woman in Bazil. In her participation on The Colors Show with the single version of Acalanto that has more of an electronic vibe from DJ Nyack people can see in her hair, in her voice, and style all of that influence and black proud that Luedji brings with her music. The message gets passed through even with no full understanding of the lyrics.
