Yes, she’s still with us! Gifted with amazing artistic longevity and emotional loyalty, Cesaria Evora, princess of a country that had no existence before her (in the world’s imagination at least), is releasing her tenth album: Rogamar.
Why change when there’s still gold to be mined? Cesaria is not the kind to speculate or squirrel away her gains. She is very much her own woman with all her strengths, courage, values and tenacity.

So here is the equation.
Its first term is an Atlantic archipelago: ten islands lost off the coast of Senegal on the route to the Americas; a Sahelian climate whose aridity is offset by the constant to-and-fro of the sea and the reeling sway of a music that has successfully assimilated Africa, Portugal, England, salsa, samba, quadrille, lundum and fado.
Its second term is a singer whose voice is indelibly stamped with the mark of Lusitania, with a nostalgic range and a sense of celebration, Saint John’s day dances and good-natured, terribly pagan carnivals.
