CESARIA EVORA LIVE A PARIS 1993 Limited Numbered Orange 180gram Audiophile Vinyl 2LP Set
Overview:
Cesária Evora's Live à Paris 1993 is a celebrated live album released in 1996. Recorded during her live performance in Paris on 12 & 13 June 1993, this album captures the soulful and emotive voice of Cesária Evora, the renowned Cape Verdean singer often referred to as the "Barefoot Diva." The live recording highlights her mastery of morna, a traditional Cape Verdean music style often compared to blues or fado for its melancholic tone and themes of longing and nostalgia.
Evora's voice carries an intimate and heartfelt quality, drawing audiences into the stories embedded in the songs. The album features morna and coladeira styles, with lyrical themes often revolving around love, loss, and the struggles of Cape Verdean life. The recording captures the energy of the live performance, the audience's reactions, and the interplay between Evora and her band, creating a vivid and immersive experience.
Now this album is available for the first time on vinyl. It comes as a limited edition of individually numbered copies on orange coloured vinyl.
