The legacy of a legend. The soul of a people. A voice for eternity.

​

Some voices fade away…

but some voices become eternal.

 

Cesária Évora belongs to that rare category of artists who never truly disappear. Her voice continues to travel, to move hearts and to resonate with generations around the world. The Barefoot Diva, the icon of Cape Verde, the woman who carried morna to the four corners of the globe, lives on today through an exceptional show.

 

Created to preserve and pass on the musical legacy of the great diva, Cesária Évora Orchestra brings together musicians who shared major stages and international tours with her. They know her songs, her silences, her nuances, her world. They are her heirs.

On stage, the powerful and captivating voices of Elida Almeida, Lucibela and Ceuzany bring to life some of Cesária Évora’s most beautiful songs, while Teófilo Chantre, the singer, guitarist and iconic composer associated with Cesária Évora, brings his story, his talent and that unique sensitivity that connected him so deeply to the musical world of the great diva.
