5.0 out of 5 stars A sublime introduction to world music, December 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Miss Perfumado (Audio CD)

Cesaria is a diva that is without doubt. Miss Perfumado is a wonderful blend of everything that you would imagine Cape Verde to be; African and Portugese, hot and beautiful. When you listen to this album, close your eyes and you can almost smell the sea, feel the sand on your feet and the sun on your back. Equally you will feel that you share the anxieties, pleasures and pain that Diva Evora sings about. The rhythms in the track Angola are delicious. Do not be surprised if you find that you cannot stop your toe tapping and if your body just gets up to dance just enjoy. Listening to Miss Perfumado will make you want to go to Cape Verde (or find out where the hell it is if you don't know already). Do you get the impression that I like this cd? I love it and always will!

A voice has never moved me as much as cesaria has. Her voice is so seductive and passionate that it takes your mind to another place. Her other albums are great, but this is the best. a definite must hear and must have for any collection

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting, seductive, timeless, September 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Miss Perfumado (Audio CD)

I first heard this CD as I was sampling artists on Amazon.com. Thank you! I have not been so enthralled with an artist in the last 25 years! Her music is haunting, seductive, it slips into your soul and is unforgettable. A few rare artists have the ability to instantly take you into a different place with the spirit they convey through their voices; Cesaria Evora is one of these. I am going to see her in concert in four days and can't wait to see what happens in her live performances! Each song is a jewel, her voice flashing brightly against the dark background of morna. I encourage others to listen and enjoy.
