Cesária Évora, often hailed as the "Barefoot Diva," was a legendary Cape Verdean singer renowned for her poignant, soulful voice and emotive mornas and coladeiras. Born on August 27, 1941, in Mindelo, Cape Verde, Evora began her singing career modestly in bars and cruise ships before gaining international acclaim in the 1990s. Her 1992 album, *Miss Perfumado*, brought her global recognition, featuring hits such as "Sodade."
Evora's music is deeply rooted in the traditional sounds of Cape Verde, and her later releases such as *Mãe Carinhosa* and *Nha Sentimento* demonstrate her enduring ability to convey profound emotional depth through her art. Her dedication to her roots and her evocative performances garnered her numerous awards, including a Grammy in 2004. She was known for performing barefoot as a salute to the impoverished women of her homeland. Cesária Évora passed away on December 17, 2011, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence artists worldwide.
