Details: Amazon.ca Like Billie Holiday, the Cape Verdean queen of morna–a slow, rhythmically balladic blend of African blues and the Portuguese fado–asked heartache to come in and set a spell. In fact, trouble and Cesaria Evora are longtime soulmates. This 1992 album (released in the U.S. in 1998) about nostalgia, longing, hit-and-run lovers, and the sea features titles like « Barbincour » (« The Conman ») and « Torura » (« Torture »). It went gold in France, transforming the plump grandma diva of her West African island’s beachside canteens into a world-music icon. Not the least of Evora’s magical appeal is that those smooth, honey-rich vocals suggest a universe of passion and pain, with nary a spasm of self-pity to break the spell. –Elena Oumano Product Description Evora, Cesaria
