Nicknamed the \"Barefoot Diva\", Cesária Évora was a true ambassador for her country around the world. The Cape Verdean singer was born on August 27, 1941, in Mindelo, Cape Verde. The daughter of a cavaquinho (small guitar) and violin player, she had been singing in bars since she was 14. She was quickly noticed for her lively voice and pretty looks, and was discovered by composer and guitarist Ti Goy, who took her under his wing and took her to sing on the radio, or on board Portuguese ships anchored in the bay. When the European public discovered her in 1988, she was 47 years old. Since then, Cesaria has sold more than 5.5 million albums. Her most famous song, \"Sodade\", sung in Creole, evokes the forced transfer of Cape Verdean workers in the 1950s to the cocoa plantations of São Tomé and Príncipe. A song that will forever be defined as a classic in the global repertoire. After a long itinerant life, filled with concerts and tours that took her to the four corners of the world, the Queen of Morna died in 2011 in her hometown of Mindelo on the island of São Vicente. The album Cesaria was released in 1995 in some twenty countries, including the United States, where it was nominated the following year for a Grammy Award in the \"World Music\" category. The album was certified gold with 100,000 copies sold.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINYL SONY MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53474288828750,"sku":"0190758538419","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/CESARIA_EVORA_Cesaria_DOUBLE_VINYLE_0190758538419_ed247374-a643-419b-bb50-2304458d2403.jpg?v=1752056287","url":"https:\/\/store.sonymusic.fr\/en\/products\/evora-cesaria-cesaria-2lp","provider":"Sony Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
