Cesaria Evora sings morna, a cool mix of blues, jazz and Portuguese folk that is the national passion of Cape Verde. It's usually played on caviquinhos and guitars, sometimes piano, an occasional horn, with light touches of percussion. It is laidback compared to many other Latin and Portuguese derivatives, but it is made for the singer and the song. Cesaria Evora has a whiskey-and-cigarettes voice, a mournful, worldly style that has become what most folks think of when they say morna. Cabo Verde doesn't hit the high point of Miss Perfumado--it's a little heavier in the production and her voice not as powerful as in the past. But hers is still a magnificent voice, and if you have other Evora recordings, you'll want this one too. --Louis Gibson
