Café Atlantico by Cesaria Evora Review: Beatuiful music. - If you are a music lover and not rigid about listening to only what you like, please discover Cesaria Evora. Review: So, you like "world music" and think you have heard it all? - Cesaria Evora IS music and Cafe Atlantico will one day occupy the same space in your mind and heart as the Buena Vista Social Club (BVSC). Her backing musicians are every bit as good as the Cuban musicians on BVSC but NO ONE on that record comes close to the soaring beauty in the singing of Cesaria Evora. She sings in a local dialect (Cape Verde) mixed with Portugese and with such intense passion it will not matter to you that you do not understand even one word of her lyrics. You can dance to many of these tunes as the beat is sufficiently compelling to keeo your feet moving. Check her out.

the sound of soul
How could I give anything but the stars to this magnificent woman ? Evora's singing is a true gift to mankind, luckily appreciated by many around the globe. From the first violin sounds of the opener, this CD is all soul - which means all Cesaria. There are moments for dancing as well as moments for contemplating - all done with the perfect Cesaria taste. I love the musicians who support Cesaria on this CD - they are completely in tune with her and add to the overall success of the music. This is highly recommended as one of Cesaria's best CD's - to any person on this earth.

Cesaria Evora is an amazing artist; she lit up the Paris scene and I really like the music from Cape Verde. I think this is her best CD.

I was very lucky to come across her music
This is an amazing album. I'm so luck to have come across her music on Pandora via Fado music. Her voice is like what I'd imagine the goddess of earth and ocean, it's vast, magnetic, and completely relaxed and worry-free. The music is rich and relaxing at the same time, with a mix of tropical island beat and romantic nostalgia that transcends the listener to a bygone era.

Cesaria Evora is a Cape Verdean National Treasure!
Although Ms. Evora recently passed away, her earthy, grainy, soul-wrenching ballads are treasures to be discovered by those still unfamiliar with the lady and her work. Cesaria Evora is Cape Verde's 'Barefoot Diva' of music - performing her craft in bare feet, in Portuguese, and usually with a cigar or cigarette in one hand! Ms. Evora's 'Cafe Atlantico' came highly recommended to me by Ina Garten, Food Network's 'Barefoot Contessa', proving once again that Ina's choice in music is every bit as excellent as her talent for cooking and entertaining!

True voice
Such a wonderful voice--i could listen to her all day. I don't speak or read Portuguese, yet I find her music so soothing.
