1	Cafe Atlantico (1999) more music like this by Césaria Évora The glorious Café Atlantico finds Césaria Évora venturing into more Latin American musical landscapes, as opposed to Portuguese, which dominated her previous albums. Évora draws from traditional Cuban and Brazilian music to mesmerizing effect. The album is also a tribute to her home town of Mindelo, on the Cape Verdean island of Sao Vicente, which ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $15.18!
2	Voz d'Amor (2003) more music like this by Césaria Évora Césaria Évora, Cape Verde's "barefoot diva," has perfected her native morna style, and with her deep, soft-burred tenor, has gained an international audience for her blues-steeped laments. Voz d'Amor features several mornas, but up-tempo coladeras, as well, most notably the striking "Velocidade," written by Luis Morais, the father of modern Cape ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.95!
3	Miss Perfumado (1992) more music like this by Cesaria Evora Ravishing is the word that springs to the lips: one of those tiresome British understatements, but it'll have to do. Evora has the most glorious voice, the melodies are heartrendingly Portuguese, the guitar-runs have escaped from a fado recording. The classic piano and string group of Miss Perfumada help explain its near-bestselling status, the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.67!
4	Sao Vicente (2001) more music like this by Césaria Évora Cesaria Evora, who at times has been referred to as a new Edith Piaf, turns in another masterful album with her first release of the new millennium, Sao Vicente. This album features several first-rate guest appearances, including Pedro Guerra, Caetano Veloso, Chucho Valdes, and North American blues superstar Bonnie Raitt (who, as always, delivers ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.95!
5	Rogamar (2006) more music like this by Césaria Évora Three years after her Grammy-winning Voz d'Amor, Cape Verdean superstar Césaria Évora returned with her tenth album, Rogamar. Recorded in Mindelo, São Vicente, Évora's hometown, and Paris (Caetano Veloso arranger Jacques Morelenbaum added the strings in Rio de Janeiro), Rogamar is a lovely piece of work, with most of the 15 tracks written for her ... see all copies from $6.69! new only from $6.69!
6	Cape Verde (1999) more music like this by Various Artists One of Putumayo founder Dan Storper's fascinations, the islands of Cape Verde, provide this album with a number of noteworthy performers and their work. As would be expected, the top luminaries of the islands' music are present, with a number each from Césaria Evora (the best-known Cape Verdean performer worldwide) and Bana (the most popular ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $13.37!
7	Cesaria (1995) more music like this by Césaria Évora On this self-titled album, her first for Nonesuch, the Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora delivers another batch of 12 strong songs. She is accompanied on this record by various guitarists and percussionists, with the occasional violin and accordion thrown into the mix. This added instrumentation supports Evora's singing (the undisputed focus of ... see all copies from $9.27! new only from $9.80!
8	The Very Best of Césaria Évora (2002) more music like this by Césaria Évora That Cape Verde's Césaria Évora is justifiably called the Queen of Morna, the music with the lilting ache, is beyond question; she can convey emotion in a small inflection of her voice. But the woman also known as the Barefoot Diva is just as surefooted on the more up-tempo coladeiras, and both styles are well represented on this compilation, ... see all copies from $13.11! new only from $16.59!
9	Cabo Verde [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Césaria Évora Cabo Verde's artwork showcases a happier Césaria Évora than on her previous self-titled album (which introduced her to North American audiences). She is pictured laughing, against light greens and blues, and the music itself is considerably more upbeat than that on her other albums (this being her second U.S. release, but her sixth overall). ... see all copies from $9.57! new only from $12.69!
10	La Diva Aux Pieds Nus (1988) more music like this by Cesaria Evora Césaria Évora is the barefoot diva, as the title of her debut album says. When the queen of Cape Verdean music takes the stage, she does so barefoot in support of poor women around the world. The opening track of La Diva Aux Pieds Nus, "Bia Lulucha" is a traditional song gussied up by a disco dancefloor treatment. The track steams right along, ... see all copies from $4.57! new only from $5.34!

12 view cover	Cabo Verde (1997) more music like this by Césaria Évora Cabo Verde's artwork showcases a happier Césaria Évora than on her previous self-titled album (which introduced her to North American audiences). She is pictured laughing, against light greens and blues, and the music itself is considerably more upbeat than that on her other albums (this being her second U.S. release, but her sixth overall). ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $7.08!
13 view cover	Club Sodade (2003) more music like this by Césaria Évora The first thing to understand about this is that it's not a new album by the lovely Evora. It's not even a straight reissue of old material. Instead, this is Evora remixed, with much of the material coming from her classic Miss Perfumado set. To many, it doesn't sound like a good idea, but it has to be said, it's been done with taste, and there's ... see all copies from $4.87! new only from $4.87!

16 view cover	Distino Di Belita (2003) more music like this by Césaria Évora This might just be appearing in the U.S., but don't be fooled into thinking it's a new album from the diva of Cape Verde. Instead, it dates from 1974, Césaria Évora's first musical period (a year later, she quit music for a decade). The elements of her future style are there, with the sweet sadness of the morna . But it's largely unformed -- the ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $12.22!
17 view cover	Adventures in Afropea 3: Telling Stories to the Sea (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Adventures In Afropea 3: Telling Stories to the Sea, is one of the first and most comprehensive anthologies of Afro-Portuguese out there. The music hails from Lisbon, Angola, São Tomé, and the Cape Verde islands, all fantastically represent here. Afropea may be the most soulful foreign music, as you can hear a variety of other heartfelt popular ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $57.77!
18 view cover	Mar Azul (1999) more music like this by Cesaria Evora From Cesaria Evora's opening wail on Mar Azul's title track, one knows that this disc, a short set comprised of only eight songs, is going to be something special. This is the album that won Evora the praise of Paris, and was released prior to her international hit, Miss Perfumado. These are classic mornas at their most haunting -- all the songs ... see all copies from $10.92! new only from $12.22!
19 view cover	Viva Mindelo (2001) more music like this by Fantcha It's always interesting to see the teacher being influenced by the student. In Cuba and Brazil, many musicians regard Africa as their rhythmic mentor -- they don't hesitate to tell you that their rhythms owe a major debt to the rhythms of Africa. When sambistas in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo or soneros in Havana speak of "Mama Africa," they are ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!

21 view cover	Criolinha (1998) more music like this by Fantcha Fantcha's dulcet lyric belies the same casual beauty and beguiling, dulcet charm that makes Cesaria Ovaria such an unforgettable vocalist. Indeed, Ovaria became Fantcha's mentor two decades ago. This method of singing is the enchanting "morna" style indigenous to Cape Verde. Members of Ovaria's group and other prominent Cape Verdean musicians back ... see all copies from $2.01! new only from $19.77!

24 view cover	The Rough Guide to the Music of Cape Verde (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This CD collects works from the tiny islands off Senegal and, as is usually the case with Rough Guide albums, the spectrum is decently covered by a huge number of artists from the best known to the essentially obscure. The four basic forms of Cape Verdean music are covered here: the haunting vocals of morna, the percussive batuque, the accordion ... see all copies from $5.97! new only from $13.70!
25 view cover	The Soul of Black Peru (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The Afro-Peruvian style heard on The Soul of Black Peru compilation originated hundreds of years ago from the Spanish slave trade. The music is a mix of African, Spanish, and Andean traditions, due to the fact that the slaves who came to Peru were not from one specific region, so they did not have a common language to communicate with. It's easy ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $6.78!
