Details: Cesaria is the best introduction to discovering everything that makes up the art of this great lady. Nicknamed "the barefoot diva", Cesaria Evora is a phenomenon and her late discovery, when she was over 50, a real fairy tale. If today she is the first African woman to sell so many records around the world, we must not forget her modest origins: she is from Cape Verde, this island off the coast of Senegal colonized by the Portuguese and she loves more than anything. From now on, the time when she sang in the bars of Mindelo for derisory fees is long gone and the triumphal tours follow one another which bring her from Japan to the United States. On Cesaria who revealed it, the playful rhythms best serve the blues tinged with rolling saudade , typical of its string of tropical islands. His style, sober and of a rare elegance, does not forget the social commentary. --Philip Robert
