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. Daughter of a cavaquinho (small guitar) and violin player, she sang in bars since she was 14 years old. She was quickly noticed for her lively voice and beautiful physique and was discovered by the composer and guitarist Ti Goy, who took her under his wing and brought her to sing on the radio or on Portuguese boats 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. Mar Azul, her third album, is the first strictly acoustic, recorded in France. Véronique Mortaigne wrote in \"Le Monde\": \"Cesária Évora, in her well-lived fifties, sings morna with a rascally devotion... [she] belongs to this global aristocracy of bar singers.\" Word-of-mouth began, and the legend was forged.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINYL SONY MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53474288992590,"sku":"0190758538617","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0357\/4862\/files\/marazul.jpg?v=1753889754","url":"https:\/\/store.sonymusic.fr\/en\/products\/evora-cesaria-mar-azul-lp","provider":"Sony Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
