Cesaria Evora

I went to a concert about a week ago. The artist was Cesaria Evora, from Cape Verde, Africa. The language there is Portuguese and that is indeed the language in which she sang. What a phenomenal voice!

Her opening act was a band called Tcheka. Frankly, I can hardly wait to get a CD of theirs or see them in concert. Incredible. The rhythms that come of out this band from Cape Verde were fantastic, and not often heard here.

What a night.
