Description
|
|
|
|
A poet should endeavor to put into verse the quality of timbre and the fluid ease that makes the voice of this Cape Verdean legend so special. All we know is that when it begins caressing our ears we don't want it to stop. This effortlessly flowing album was nominated for a 1996 Grammy for Best World Music Album. "Her voice is rich and mellow, and sometimes even dreamy.... But throughout, Évora sings in a way that evokes both power and vulnerability, often both in the same breath."—Dirty Linen "Évora, the queen of morna, bears comparison with Billie Holiday or Edith Piaf, her warm, dusky contralto brimming with melancholy nostalgia as she croons the Creole poetry of Cape Verde's finest composers."—Down Beat
