Petit Pays - Cesária Evora 1995

They make multi-million dollar recordings today that can't begin to compare to the heart and soul of this wonderful recorded performance.

Cesária Évora (1941 – 2011), was a Cape Verdean singer-songwriter. She received a Grammy Award in 2004 for her album Voz d'Amor. Nicknamed the “Barefoot Diva” for performing without shoes.

“Here everything is wet
Watching this world outside
There's only rocky cliffs and sea
Poor country full of love
With Morna and Coladera songs
Wise country full of love
With drum circles and Funaná music
Oh, so much homesickness” Cesaria Evora - Petit Pays
