	Cesaria Evora
		Cesaria Evora's husky and crackling voice travels effortlessly from the island of Cape Verde to the chair where you're sitting.
		Evora's ability to convey life's lesser lights with savage reality (dig the unforgiving "Quem bô ê (Who Are You?)" for a dose of grand female empowerment) is only matched by her matured singing skills.
		Until 1992 Evora lived in the town where she was born, Mindelo, on the Cape Verde island of Sao Vincente (near the coast of Senegal).

	Biography - Cesaria EVORA
		Cesaria left the orphanage choir at the age of 13 but her musical apprenticeship was not to end there.
		Cesaria was thus familiar with the haunting sound of the morna (a name inspired by the English verb to mourn) from an early age.
		Cesaria was soon back in the studio, putting the finishing touches to a second album, "Distino Di Belita" which introduced listeners to a mix of haunting acoustic mornas and jazzed-up electric coladeras.

	Cesaria Evora (The Leopard Man's African Music Guide)
		Cesaria Evora's main strength as a vocalist is the authority with which she sings.
		Evora's album from 1992 has a sad undertone, possibly the reason for its best-seller status: it is said that sad singers always attract larger audiences than do the happy ones.
		Cesaria Evora sings better than ever, and what makes this lady so sovereign is her presence in her songs.

		Cesaria Evora, born in 1941 in the port town of Mindelo on the Cape Verde island of Sao Vicente, is known as the barefoot diva because of her propensity to appear on stage in her bare feet in support of the disadvantaged women and children of her country.
		Evora's Cape Verdean blues often speak of the country's long and bitter history of isolation and slave trade, as well as emigration: almost two-thirds of the million Cape Verdeans alive live abroad.
		Evora's voice, a finely-tuned, melancholy instrument with a touch of hoarseness, highlights her emotional phrasing by accenting a word or phrase.

	Biography And Music Of The "BareFoot Diva", Cesaria Evora.
		World music singer Cesaria Evora is known as the "Barefoot Diva" -- a literal reference to her preference for performing shoeless and a symbolic reference to her empathy for the underprivileged women of her native Africa.
		Cesaria Evora aka Cize to her friends, was born on August 27th, 1941 in Mindelo, Cabo Verde Islands off the coast of Senegal, where she and her six siblings were raised fatherless, living in near poverty.
		Evora began singing in public in her mid-teens and soon she was known in her native land as the "Queen of Morna." Mornas -- taken from the English "to mourn" -- are Portugese-Creole ballads of nostalgia, suffering and lost love sung in a minor key.

	Cesaria Evora Discography - Slipcue E-Zine
		In her lushest album to date, Evora pushes her presentation to match the power of her voice, solidifying familiar arrangements into a grand, sweeping sound.
		Evora continues her exploration of the musical relationship between Cape Verde and Cuba, with assist from Orquesta Aragon and Chuco Valdes -- on balance, this is a pretty good record, but it seems to lack the gravity and soulfulness of her earlier albums.
		Special features include videos of Evora travelling to Cuba, France and Brazil, a highlight of which is a recording session with Brazilian MPB star Caetano Veloso.

		Evora's music is a graceful blend of Africa, Portugal, Brazil and Cuba.
		As they began, songs were spirited and contained various rhythms; once Evora entered, though, it took only a few bars until the meter had been slowed to fit her sense of timing.
		Initially, it was a fascinating juxtaposition: Evora, 59, so consumed by the pain and passion of a lyric that her deliberate delivery defies the joyful backing supplied by her acoustic-guitar-heavy backing.

	Jelly review: Cesaria Evora
		Although Cesaria Evora often sings about the world and of its troubles–as she salutes striking workers in "Cumpade Ciznone" here–this gentle soul can also sing just as naturally of contentment.
		Evora’s voice is rich and textured, yet nimble enough to make hairpin turns at a phrase intersection’s notice.
		Imagine, if you can, what Edith Piaf might have sounded like had she lived to be gray-haired (and slowed the vibrato to a throb), and you will have some idea of the subtle power of Cesaria Evora.
