Cesaria Evora

The Barefoot Diva

A native of the island nation of Cape Verde, Cesaria Evora is the country's foremost practitioner of the morna style, wistful, minor key ballads strongly associated with the islands, combining West African percussion with Portuguese fados, Brazilian modhinas, and British sea shanties.

"... she manages to pull listeners into her music in ways that transcend language."
