Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Cesaria Evora
Free Music Review: The rightful queen of World Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Okay, that's a subjective opinion, and I'll probably change and name somebody else as queen of world music someday...I'm fickle that way.However, Cesaria Evora is one of the most distinguished and worthy singers of world music around. She centers often on the Cape Verdean sound, but there is much of Brazil and of Portugal roots here. The variety represented here actually represents her as international in scope.
I don't always recommend "Best Of" albums highly, but this is truly a terrific introduction to a woman who not only masters each style she sings, but obviously is loving every moment of it, and her enthusiasm for what she's singing is contagious.
You don't get the lyrics in the program notes of a "Best Of" album, and I personally don't believe understanding the lyrics is that important to the enjoyment of the lady's singing.
Most highly recommended.
Free Music Review: I first heard Ms. Evora on Link TV - so I bought this cd
Hit: 5 Stars
The first song I ever heard from this woman was "Angola", a video played on Link TV. I knew then I had to buy this music. Before I did, however, I downloaded a few samples which convinced me to buy.
I bought this cd never knowing how long her career spanned. I just knew I loved the song "Angola", which is more folk song than anything else (perfectly captures a community in celebration).
I think it's a worthy buy and recommend you buy this before you choose to buy anything else.
Free Music Review: Captures your sentiments and won't let go
Hit: 5 Stars
This is exactly what I'm lookig for in music: Artists little known in the U.S. that I have the priviledge to "Discover" for my own! There is music beyond our borders that is breathtaking and sensual and exotically moving. Please break through the barrier of the good music your used to and travel - through music - to places and times that will inspire you.Free Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
This compilation of Cesaria's songs brings many successes of her most famous CD's, such as Cafe Atlantico. Her voice is just amazing and with the rythmin makes you feel as if you were on one of those beaches of Cape Verde. This is more than recommended, specially for the ones that are planning to buy the first CD of this singer.Free Music Review: An Excellent Best Of
Hit: 5 Stars
This compilation is very lively and danceable, it mainly reflects the latest works of Cesaria Evora (Cafe Atlantico and S. Vicente di Longe), which are lighter and sweeter that the earlier ones. But what I like best about this CD is the inedited song Fidjo Maguado, a really amazing morna by Jorge Monteiro.
