Customer Reviews
However, Cesaria Evora is one of the most distinguished and worthy singers of world music around. She centers often on the Cape Verdean sound, but there is much of Brazil and of Portugal roots here. The variety represented here actually represents her as international in scope.
I don't always recommend "Best Of" albums highly, but this is truly a terrific introduction to a woman who not only masters each style she sings, but obviously is loving every moment of it, and her enthusiasm for what she's singing is contagious.
You don't get the lyrics in the program notes of a "Best Of" album, and I personally don't believe understanding the lyrics is that important to the enjoyment of the lady's singing.
Most highly recommended.
Magical voice, terrible compilation.
Normally you buy very best albums because you don't want to pay top dollars for regular albums that have 2-3 good songs with filler for rest. This time it is the opposite. This compilation has only 2 of her best songs, the rest is so-so.
You will be much better off if you buy her regular albums such as:
São Vicente
Cafe Atlantico
which are highly recommended.
This said Cesaria Evora must be part of your life experience.
Imagine the Very Best of Beatles without Yesterday.
P.S. Just in case you are wondering which ones are the 2 songs worthy of a CD with a name Very Best, here they are:
03. Carnaval De Sao Vicente
13. Esperance Irisada
