    West African / Cape Verdean singer Cesária Évora ventures away from her signature Portuguese Morna-Coladeira style and further into traditional Cuban and Brazilian music, to mesmerizing effect. The album is also a tribute to her home town of Mindelo, on the Cape Verdean island of Sao Vicente, which was once a busy port with sailors cruising between South America, the Caribbean, and Portugal. The music is heartbreaking and nostalgic, warm and tragic all at once. The masterful "Carnaval de São Vicente" is one of the most joyous, bittersweet party songs ever put on wax (and was even issued as a maxi-single with fantastic remixes). "Roma Criola" is tragic, lonely, destitute, and always interesting, making for an undiscovered masterpiece of a ballad, and her rendition of the Spanish language standard "Maria Elena" is absolutely heartbreaking. 

    Expanded edition reissued on 180g vinyl, including 2 bonus tracks "Sodade" and "Luiza".
