“Evora’s gift for conveying vulnerability across
language and culture is astonishing.”
—Entertainment Weekly
In the tradition of the world’s great vocalists, including Edith Piaf, Celia Cruz and Billie Holiday, this internationally acclaimed “barefoot diva” intoxicates with the balmy melodies and breezy rhythms of morna, the slow, rhythmic song-form of Cape Verde. Evora’s wistful minor-key ballads, sung in a rich soulful voice, are captivating and profoundly touching. Vanity Fair hails her as “the world’s Earth Mother.”
