Originally recorded in 1988 when the Cape Verde-born singer-icon was 47, this CD refers in its title to Cesaria Evora's moniker as the Barefoot Diva. With this disc, she put morna and coladeira--her country's mournful, Creole-Portuguese musical genres--on the map. Underneath Evora's plaintive and soulful strains about her difficult loves, the music, which is related to Brazil's samba and Portugal's fado, is driven by guitar, cavaquinho violin, accordion, clarinet, and percussion. The selections on this offering reveal Evora's musical and emotional range, from the traditional-pop dance treatment of "Bia Lulucha" and her riveting reading of the orchestrated Vinícius de Moraes and Antonio Carlos Jobim song "Passeio Samba" to her heart-tugging rendition of "Cabo Verde Terra Estimada." Think of Cesaria Evora as Cape Verde's version of Billie Holliday. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
