Review

CMJ (8/01, p.79) - "...She blends the best of Cape Verdean, Brazilian and Latin forms..."
Down Beat (12/01, p.76) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Evora's way of making loss and longing sound so inspirational has not changed....she engages and sails above the assembly as easily as when she worked with just a few guitarists and a pianist..."
Dirty Linen (8-9/01, p.66) - "...Loving assaults on the human heart..."
NAPRA Review (11-12/01, p.79) - "...Her clear, effervescent voice melds poignantly with salsa tempos and African beats..."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/01, p.108) - "...The aplomb with which she pulls this album off is breathtaking..."

SAO VICENTE was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best World Music Album.

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 a remarkable performance) but none takes the stage from Cesaria. This is an album which, even when sunny and jubilant, still has an underlying theme of boundless sorrow, but in the end, the music is pure joy to the ear and the spirit. Highlights of the album include the elegant, nostalgic and sweeping opener, "Sao Vicente Di Longe" (which is the title of the European version of the album). "Dor Di Amor" best illustrates how such joyful music, with jubilant beats and horns, can be so sad, with Cesaria's mournful laments decorating the uplifting song. The album includes more Latin-tinged songs, including "Tiempo Y Silencio" where she sings in Spanish, and nostalgic torch songs, such as "Linda Mimosa" and "Negue," which finds Cesaria accompanied solely by a piano, resulting in one of the most beautiful and touching performances on the album. As is always the case with this singer, the album is strong from start to finish. One can rejoice in Cesaria's musical journey, which proves that true art and emotion can find a route to success in an era of overwhelmingly manufactured artifice. ~ Jose Promis
