Music for Sunday: Cesária Évora

Happy Mother's Day to all you groovy mamas out there!

Cape Verde Islands, off the west coast of Africa. Portuguese melodics to african rythms. Cesária Évora, Cape Verde's international star singer.

Saudade (singular) or saudades (plural) (pronounced [sawˈdadɨ] in European Portuguese, [sawˈdadʒi] or [sawˈdadi] in Brazilian Portuguese and pronounced [sawˈdade] in Galician) is a Portuguese and Galician word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which is lost.

    Very beautiful.

    I think I have fallen in love with the young man on the guitar.

    It's embarrassing to me that the popular musics of so many countries have brilliant superstars of, shall we say, "a certain age," whereas we in America cast older performers off in favor of youth, beauty and the Next New Thing.

    It truly is our loss.

    Thanks for sharing this lovely song with us.
