I haven't heard Cesaria in over a decade, and your inclusion is right on time for me. She so embodies "duende." Thanks so much this necessary, wide-ranging project!

I love her voice. However, it is obvious the Portuguese/Creolo/Cuban influence in her music. So much so that if one didn't see her, she would easily be mistaken for not having African origin. Ethnicity notwithstanding, it is still good music from the Mother Continent. Africa Nossa is my favorite. The hook is contagious. Beautiful. I love her voice.

If I were a concert promoter, I would surely move heaven and earth to bring her to the Caribbean. Her music is so much like our Caribbean Zouk and a folk twist on the Calypso. I think that it would work well here. I can’t get enough of Cesaria Evora. If I were a concert promoter, I would surely move heaven and earth to bring her to the Caribbean.
