Nha Sentimento

Interpreter: Cesaria Evora
Label: Lusafrica
Location: Cape Verde

Despite her 68 years, and a recent stroke, Cesaria Evora continues apace, with another round of dramatic coladeras and mornas delivered in her inimitable style. She’s assisted on three mornas by the Cairo Orchestra, and the Arabic input emphasises the Arabic-Andalusian roots of the song-form.
