Cesaría Évora was one of those voices. The barefoot diva. The queen of Morna. She sang Cape Verde’s longing, its saudade, its salt air and open sea, barefoot on every stage, in solidarity with the women and children of her islands who couldn’t afford shoes. An appreciation post to a singer with one of the best voices ever. Based in Lisbon, Claudette Records is a music selector and content creator exploring the world one record at a time.
