Cesária Evora (27 August 1941 – 17 December 2011)
"Cesária Evora was a Cape Verdean singer who was known for her rich, haunting voice.
“She became known for singing mornas, traditional Cape Verdean folk songs that were sorrowful emotion-charged chronicles of the country’s long and bitter history of isolation, slave trade, and population loss due to emigration. She also sang coladeras—mornas with a faster tempo. Although her music earned her a multitude of fans on the islands of Cape Verde, it did not provide financial success.
“The positive response generated by the 1992 release of Miss perfumado earned her widespread popularity in Europe and led to an international tour. During the 1990s and early 2000s, Evora continued to record new albums and perform around the world. She won a 2003 Grammy Award for her album Voz d’amor. Her final album, Cesaria Evora &… (2010), was a collection of duets assembled through collaboration with musicians from more than 15 countries."
