This is the woman whom Billy G and I both agree has a magic voice -- one that we can listen to sing just about anything.

This is from her album Cabo Verde and I need to pick up more.

I hope you like.

Anyone?
Boy oh boy!

i haven't heard this song, but her "e doce morrer no mar" with marisa monte is amazing. that whole cafe atlantico is good too.

This album was sent to me by mistake a couple years ago... I don't remember what I'd tried to order, but liked this enough to keep it. Nothing I would have found on my own, but a great addition to my collection.

Yeah, over the last decade on the world music scene my biggest favorite would have to be Cesaria Evora. I have a few including that one, but the CD I would recommend to anyone is her first US release on Nonesuch in 1995, Cesaria. Very nice sound quality as well. Her vocal is mixed very big so it softly dominates the soundstage and I love the way the musicians support that beautiful voice. You can't really go wrong with any of her albums, but still ...



BTW, there's a very cool little compilation from around that same time (1996) called "Soul of Cape Verde" that has Cesaria and a bunch of other artists from that region. Great stuff.
