There is no way to thank her for the great music, the beautiful singing and all the elements of her art, that make us full of emotions and feelings. Hope she is able to look down to us all and realise how much she has influenced our lives! Thank you Mrs. Evora!

Uma profunda tristeza circunda o mundo: Cesaria Evora morreu. Ele deixou uma cicatriz bem no coração, a marca de sua plenitude e esperança de seu povo. Descanse em paz.

We are blessed that part of her soul remains with us in her music! Although I am more & more loathing googtube & its programmers for all their cruddy changes, I discovered Cesária through this site, for which I'm thankful. She is one of 500 worldwide artists I've created playlists for on my musical tribute channel. chuck in Arizona
chkjns important what is and from where comes that style, but finally most important is the happiness and the sense and all incredible feelings which give us the music . She is splendid!
nelidaniela Cesaria jesteś boska!!!
leonardohen38 This music takes me back to my roots. It makes me want to cry because I miss my people. Especially my Mom and Dad. Her songs touch my heart in a way none other can.
only1williams Gracias por tu música Cesaria Evora. Descansa en paz. Desde Bolivia, con "sodade".

I probably posted this a few years ago, but this whole CD was in constant rotation at one of my favorite coffeehouses (The Coffee Cat) in Santa Barbara, and I got so much writing done while listening to it.  It will always take me back to that place in my favorite city in the world. |

It is the fragile, sweet cast of hollowness that we refuse to let go for those things that pass that we never want to go. It is an intimate, human desire to preserve and make whole for ourselves a world that is constantly changing. This song reminds me of this feeling. It is beyond language. So is the singer.
Well said. And indeed, a beautiful song. |

Amandio Cabral (b. 1934) - a Capeverdean singer who currently lives in Californiaoutside Cape Verde. Amandio Cabral, himself, 76 y. old, is that censorship to view the video of Cesaria Evora?....Can you believe it?...I think it is a false pretext and can not imagine that makes any sense."Armando Zeferino Soares, (1920 in São Nicolau, Cape Verde - April 3, 2007) was a Capeverdeancomposer, author of the famous song Sodade. He was born in Praia Branca in the island of São Nicolau and worked there as a salesman.He had several disputes due to the authorship of Sodade with other composers, including Amândio Cabral and Luís Morais. Finally on December 2006, the court declared Armando Soares the author of the famous song. " wikipedia |

Came here to rate this a 10 and found that I already had. Happy & disappointed at the same time—can I vote twice, Bill?
One of many, many fabulous artists I never would have been exposed to had it not been for the genius of RadioParadise.

I can only guess "Sodade" derives from "Saudade" in Portuguese ("longing", "homesick", "nostalgic") ... This music beatifully captures the essence of the concept—musical ontology  |
