Album Description
For the past seven years, acclaimed jazz vocalist Kavita Shah has been busy on the Atlantic island of São Vicente, immersing in the traditional mornas and coladeiras of her idol and global music legend Cesária Évora. The result is "Cape Verdean Blues" (2023, Folkalist Records)—a carefully curated love letter to Évora's breathtaking archipelago. Shah, herself a daughter of diaspora who resonated with the music’s language of longing, has teamed up with Évora’s longtime bandmates–including the master acoustic guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Bau (Évora's longtime musical director)–to create her most personal work to date: this is music that makes you want to dance and cry at the same time. "Agradeço a Cesária por me levar neste caminho, e gostaria de dedicar este disco ao povo cabo-verdiano. (I thank Cesária for bringing me on this journey, and I would like to dedicate this album to the people of Cape Verde). Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" - Kavita Shah
