Music reviews of Cesaria
Music Review: Beautiful
Rating: 5 Stars
Legend has it that God had a fistful of small rocks and peebles and didn't know what to do with it so he threw it out into the great big ocean thus Capo Verde, dry and arid with people, pirates and cultures crossing paths and staying and then Cesaria Evora. She is Cape Verde, she and her music, this self titled CD is a testament to this. The distinct sytle is morma, the word says it, mournful songs about lost love and longing expressed in creole portugese. Who else can better sing it than Cersaria Evora. It's not just her rich deep melancholic voice, but also the gorgeous cavaquinho guitar and impecable musicians of the island that acompanies every song in this beautiful CD. If you are lucky enough to stumble into this CD, you'll know what I mean and if not I highly recommend it.

Description of Cesaria
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Cesaria Evora, a Cape Verdean with a rich alto voice, has been described as a cross between Edith Piaf and Billie Holiday. It wasn't until 1988, though, that Evora traveled to Paris to record. Her fourth album, 1992's Miss Perfumado, made her a major star in France and Portugal. Her 1994 album, Cesaria Evora, duplicated that triumph, and it's this latter recording that has become her first U.S. release. Evora, celebrated in Europe as the "Barefoot Diva," is now 52, but she is still able to give every word a breathy intimacy even as she fills it with a pitch-perfect, full-toned resonance. Drawing on the work of top Cape Verdean songwriters Nando Da Cruz, Amandio Cabral, and Manuel De Novas, she sings in Criuolo, a Creole variation of Portuguese. As in Brazil, another former Portuguese colony with a strong African influence, Cape Verde has produced a music that is light and airy even as it incorporates African rhythms and quartertones. The morna possesses the low-key tunefulness of an equatorial cabaret music, but Evora's vocals impart a world-weary gravity to these tales of homesickness and doomed love. --Geoffrey Himes
