Transport yourself to another level of emotion!
Huge on the world music circuits, Cesaria is known as the barefoot diva. Coming from the Portuguese territiory of Cape Verde, her music is steeped in Fado tradition whilst the lyrics have a simplicity of message to them (very similar to the Buena Vista style of Cuban music). Caesaria journeyed to Brazil to record this, thus it has a strong new influence and has some heavy-weight guests also-Bonnie Raitt, Pedro Guerra from Spain, Brazilian superstar Caetano Veluso and Chucho Valdes.The mystique of Nina Simone mixed with the effervescence of Brazil.
- ROGER MARBECK
"What is so special about Evora is her voice, and in particular it's tone, which is where her genius lies. She sings words with a deft, light touch, not allowing her voice to overcharge them by lingering too long. She uses no vibrato, only an occasional natural flicker, and sculpts the phrases through nuanced intonation."
