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 shanties.
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.

Henry— the last surviving son of Manuel I — had previously ruled as regent from 1562 while Sebastian was still not of age.
He was soundly defeated at the Battle of Alcácer-Quivir where many of the Portuguese leaders were killed or captured and held to ransom, payment of which bled the country dry for years to come.
Regrettably too, on his deathbed in 1580, Henry acknowledged that Philip of Spain had a legitimate claim to the throne of Portugal and effectively thereby plunged the country into 60 years of foreign domination.

Cesaria Evora has come a long way in the last 15 years, from being an unknown middle-aged singer from Cape Verde, a rocky collection of islands 300 miles off the coast of Senegal, to being considered one of the world's premier divas.
The style for which Evora has become famous is, in part, a complex biproduct of years of colonization, mixing coladeiras and mournful yet sensuous morna, which is heavily influenced by Portuguese fado as well as African and Brazilian rhythms, especially samba.
Voz d'Amor continues a tradition established before of wrapping Evora's smokey, whiskey-soaked voice in a delicate shawl of piano, acoustic guitar, cavaquinho (a guitar/mandolin hybrid), bass and fiddle, with saxophone and orchestral backing.

Of course it never hurts to have Katharine Hepburn on board for some high-class pedigree: In her final performance the Hollywood legend goes out on a high note, delivering a pivotal scene about living life with no regrets, and she may just as well be describing her own independent spirit.
Dashed hopes and cynical behavior threaten to ruin the boy's Christmas, but Bill and his esteemed cast stay true to the well-earned sentiment of Capote's story, arriving at a moment of fatherly redemption that is nicely accented by Van Dyke Parks's understated score.
Julie Harris and Henry Winkler rise above many past ill-choices, and the whole cast superbly gives life to what may come through as a Christmas cliché but is just that extra bit more that has us glued to the screen.
