Free Music Notes for São Vicente

Hit: 5 Stars
Oh how I love Cesaria! As always when I visit Barnes & Nobles I go to the International music section. As my eyes scanned the wide selection of world music, Cesaria's face stood out. This woman reminds of Celia Cruz -love her too, may her soul rest in peace -I said to myself and I bet she's a wonderful singer. All I needed to hear was the song "Sodade" and that was it. I fell in love with Cesaria's music. Like Celia Cruz she has the voice that captures your attention and sends chills down your spine - so electrifying it's beautiful! I currently one three of Cesaria's albums - THe Very Best of, Cabo Verde, and Voz D'Amor! THe next albums I want to get are Sao Vincente di Longe and Cesaria!
For the past few months I've been listening to Cesaria's music more than anyone elses! I can relate so much to the lyrics of her music and the style being that I'm from the Caribbean. I feel as if I've also lived the Capeverdian experience! I would like to visit someday! Viva Cesaria a reina da morna!
Free Music Review: Just Perfect Evora and Crew
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an exceptional CD. It's rare that I listen to an entire CD and feel delight at every track. I don't much like Bonnie Raitt, and I like even her duet with Evora on this CD.
The feeling is of warmth, of the tropics; the rhythms are those typical of the trans-Atlantic Portugese musical world, from Portugal, to Cape Verde, to Brazil.
The music is unfailingly sweet and soothing; it caresses you. It is likable music. I think I'd feel comfortable giving this CD as a gift to a friend whose tastes I'm not quite sure of. But "Sao Vicente" is never shallow or cloying; this deceptively quiet music is passionate, intense, and true.
The virtuosity of every aspect of the CD is satisfying. Cesaria Evora is, of course, every bit the powerful pro, and every other performer on the CD is in her class.
There's only one thing I don't like about this CD ... it eventually ends. I could listen to its music for many hours more.
Free Music Review: Show me that elevator!
Hit: 5 Stars
Somebody said this is elevator music...If it is, show me that elevator and I'll ride it all day long!Cesaria Evora is a Brazilian singer who deservedly ranks with the best of the international singers. Her voice is full, melodious, emotional when needed, and I would say glorious. Of course, that is just my opinion.
Many moods are covered here: Sheer poetry in "Tiempo Y Silencio" (Time and Silence), plaintive love in "Dor Di Amor" (Painful Love), disapproval of changing morals in "Nutridinha"
(The Chubby Little Girl), mature love in "Regresso" (Return) sung with Caetano Veloso, loneliness in "Crepuscular Solidao" (Twilight Loneliness).
This is world music at its best, a truly spectacular woman's voice to stand and be heard with the greatest.
Free Music Review: New directions
Hit: 5 Stars
Similar to the way Cafe Atlantico took off in a slightly different direction, Sao Vicente also expands the modalities of Evora's musical celebration. This is a great album for a party or for dancing. Many of the songs have a Latin or Brazilian rhythm to them and depart from Evora's idiosyncratic plaintive expression. Not all of the songs follow this track and there is plenty of the forlorn, deep, beautiful and touching expression fans are used to. I listen to the album and can hear the many ways in which Evora has been touched by fame and notoriety. She wants to share her joy and excitement with the world, without giving up her integrity as a musician. Her duet with Bonnie Raitt is beautiful as well as her work with ChuChu Vales. This is a great choice!!!Free Music Review: So sabi!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have several CDs by Cesaria Evora and I enjoy each and every one of them, but by far I love "Sao Vicente". The variety of selections makes this an all time favorite of anyone who loves Cape Verdean music and lyrics. As a Cape Verdean-American I highly recommend this CD to anyone. Although all 15 selections are superb, my favorite is "Crepuscular Solidao" and that alone is well worth the price of the CD. You won't be disappointed.
