Search - Cesaria Evora :: Radio Mindelo

Radio Mindelo features Cesaria Evora s long-lost radio recordings from the 1960s, made by the Cape Verdean station Radio Barlavento. These twenty-two tracks document the first tentative steps in the barefoot diva s long and distinguished career. Listen to Radio Mindelo and you will discover the voice of Evora s youth, a voice in which you will recognize the same phrasing, the same intonations and the same serenity it has today. However, the rough production quality of the original tapes and the spontaneity of the songs create a special feeling of discovery, of hearing the sound of a legend before the legend existed.
