180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL
GATEFOLD SLEEVE
A native of the island nation of Cape Verde, Ces�ria �vora
was known as the country's foremost practitioner of the
morna, a combination of West African percussion with
Portuguese fados, Brazilian modhinas, and British sea
shanties. After a short singing career in the 1970's, she
returned in the late '80s with a string of fine albums.
Her 1999 album Cafe Atlantico (a reference to her home
where she frequently entertained guests) is a much
acclaimed masterpiece, finding Cesaria �vora venturing
into more Latin American musical landscapes, as opposed
to Portuguese, which dominated her previous albums.
�vora draws from traditional Cuban and Brazilian music
to mesmerizing effect. The music is heartbreaking and
nostalgic, warm and tragic all at once.
This album is nothing short of world class, and we're
overjoyed to give Cafe Atlantico its very first vinyl issue, with
two bonus tracks to boot!
