The day she died I cried.
As if for my grandmother.
Her voice is so soothingly comforting.
Hearing her performing "live" was not much of a staged spectacle though. Pretty much just stood (in bare feet) and sang. No fancy moves there. First time I saw her perform she puffed away at cigarettes one after the other. No idea how she managed to sing!

Currently playing Uakti - Aguas da Amazonia - Philip Glass

Philip Glass and Cesária Évora in one sublime post............ah, bliss.
Lucky you having had the privilege of seeing (and hearing) her play live.
Actually, I first heard her music some years ago while en route to a meeting in a taxi, - played on the taxi's music system - (driven yes, by a gentleman with dusky skin tones) and I was absolutely blown away. The delighted driver wrote down the name of the gifted performer for me and - within a matter of hours - I had ordered a few of her CDs.
Has anyone here come across lingala music?
Excellent choice.
When I was home last week, one of the CDs awaiting me was that of the Greatest Hits of XTC. It is now on my iPod Touch, and has been listened to with pleasure.
No time for music today. Kind of sums up my day! Something uplifting later though. I'll give it some thought.
