A native of the island nation of Cape Verde, Cesaria Evora is known as the country's foremost practitioner of the morna style, which is strongly associated with the islands and combines West African percussion with Portuguese fados, Brazilian modhinas, and British sea-chanteys. Evora began singing morna at age 16 after meeting an attractive young guitarist. Her talent soon had her performing all over the islands, and in the late '60s, two of her radio tapes were released as albums in the Netherlands and Portugal, respectively. However, Evora never left her country, and gave up singing in the mid-'70s owing to lack of profit. In 1985, at the age of 45, she decided to return to music and traveled to Portugal to record two songs for an anthology of female Cape Verdean singers. This led to subsequent recording sessions in Paris, which resulted in four albums from 1988 to 1992. Her international fame grew, and she toured Europe, Africa, Brazil, and Canada, with stops in the United States to perform for Cape Verdean audiences. In the fall of 1995, she mounted her first large-scale American tour; subsequent recordings include 1997's Cabo Verde and 1999's Mar Azul and Cafe Atlantico.

Mit wunderbar lasziver, rauchiger Stimme gibt die kapverdische Sängerin die "Mornas" und "Coladeiras" ihrer Heimat wieder; mit dabei: "Angola" und das tief melancholische "Sodade". ** Musik: 03-04 ** Klang: 03-04

Wer sich für afrikanische Musik interessiert, kommt heute an der Musik von Cesária Èvora nicht vorbei. Obwohl Sie aus einen der kleinsten Kulturkreise Afrikas stammt, den Kapverden. Das schöne ist, daß dieses "Best of-Album" nicht nur etwas für eingefleischte Worldmusicfans ist. Der eindringliche, stimmungsvolle portugiesisch-kreolische Gesang, versetzt eine in romantisch, melancholische Stimmungen, ohne zu belasten. Eine Musik für jede Jahreszeit auch wenn sie nicht tanzbar ist. Sehr gelungen ist vorallem das Remake des Klassikers "Besa me mucho", das einzige nicht kapverdianische Lied, ist schon für sich den Kauf des ganzen Albums wert.
