Cesária Évora in her “morna” singing chant of Cabo Verde, sings of a lonely lover stuck in her hometown of São Nicolau who has had no contact with her beau but imagines him suddenly returning to São Tomé.
The voice of this world celebrated Grammy award singer is described as limpid and weary but smooth and silky. She was an icon for several world celebrities, including Madonna who performed Sodade (the Cabo Verdean creole word for the Portuguese saudade) at every performance of one of her tours.
