Cesaria Evora

Music from Brazil

Caught up in the fever of AmeriSpan's newly added Portuguese programs in Brazil, I decided to rummage through a few of my recently purchased faves featuring artists from that country. Turns out that I am more of a Latin music junkie than I realized. Choosing just one album from a Brazilian artist was "mui dificil."

I went for the least obscure of the bunch. A CD that can be enjoyed by all: cesaria evora: café atlantico. Relaxing but fresh melodies. It's a treasure. You'll fall in love with Cesaria even if you cannot understand a single word she's saying...you'll just feel her mood and somehow it all clicks. If you enjoy Buena Vista Music Club, this is a must have!!

-Highly Recommended
