Cesaria Evora

𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙩-𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨, 𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙠𝙮 𝙫𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙬 𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚 — São Vicente di Longe finds Cesária Évora weaving mornas and coladeras with effortless grace, a voice both distant and deeply intimate.

Originally released in 2001, the album pays homage to her island roots with guest appearances by Caetano Veloso and Bonnie Raitt, and arrangements that float between melancholy and quiet joy. Évora’s delivery is pure saudade — each note feels lived-in, each pause, intentional.

This reissue includes a 4-page booklet with rare photos and full lyrics, offering listeners a deeper connection to Cesária’s world. A timeless document from the Queen of Barefoot Divas, as moving now as it was on its first breath.
