A Tribute to Cesaria Evora - missing you

She left us on 17 december 2011.
Cesária Évora -- Cize to her friends -- was born on the 27th August 1941 in Mindelo, Cape Verde. Her bright voice and physical charms were soon noticed, but her hope of a singing career remained unsatisfied. A Cape Verdean women's group and the singer Bana both took her to Lisbon to cut a few tracks, but the recordings failed to catch the ear of a producer. In 1988, a young Frenchman of Cape Verdean extraction invited her to Paris to make a record. At 47, she had nothing to lose. Having never seen Paris, she agreed and her first album was released later in the year: La Diva Aux Pieds Nus (The Barefoot Diva) produced by Lusafrica. The zouk-flavoured coladera "Bia Lulucha" is a hit with the Cape Verdean community. She gave her first concert in Paris to a small crowd at the New Morning on the 1st October.
