Cesária Évora
The Barefoot Diva of Cape Verde's Soul
I sing the soul of my islands, barefoot and true.
I was born in Mindelo, where the wind carries stories and the sea never sleeps. I sang in taverns for coins and camaraderie, and I stopped singing when my heart said no. But when the world finally listened, I sang for Cape Verde — for every soul who's felt the pull of saudade.
What I'm Into: smoky taverns, the taste of grog, lonely ports, my mother's lullabies, morna's slow ache
