#GreatAlbums1990s - #CesariaEvora – #MissPerfumado (1992). Grammy-winner Evora was a renowned singer of Morna, a style blending the culture of Cape Verde with Portuguese/ European folk and traditional pop. The gorgeous “Sodade” leads off this set of ballads and singalongs (even those unfamiliar with Morna/ Portuguese will readily catch the energy of “Cumpade Ciznone” and “Angola”). The musical settings are eloquent hybrids of folk and jazz.
