Café Atlântico [2LP]

Cesária Évora – Café Atlântico [2LP]

A native of the island nation of Cape Verde, Cesaria Evora was known as the country's foremost practitioner of the morna, a combination of West African percussion with Portuguese fados, Brazilian modinhas, and British sea shanties. Her 1999 album Cafe Atlantico is a much-acclaimed masterpiece, finding Cesaria Evora venturing into more Latin American musical landscapes. The music is heart-breaking and nostalgic, warm and tragic all at once. 180 gram audiophile vinyl, includes 2 bonus tracks and an insert with lyrics.
