Description:
Cesaria Evora & The Mindel Band: Cesaria Evoria (vocals); Voginha (guitar); Bau (cavaquinho); Humberto (piano); Tey (percussion).

Additional personnel: Ramiro Mendes (acoustic 6- & 12-string guitars); Paulinho Vieira (harmonica, piano); Luis Morais (clarinet); Morgadinho (trumpet); Toy Vieira (piano).

Principally recorded at Studio Michel Ange, Paris, France in 1991.

One happy consequence following the current popularity of the Cabo Verdean singer Cesaria Evora is the domestic release of her first Paris-based sessions. Last year saw MISS PERFUMADO and now we have MAR AZUL, originally recorded in 1991. Evora sings in Portuguese and while there are some surface similarites with her Brazilian cousins across the sea, most notably the soulful Maria Bethania, her style remains firmly ensconced within the fado-derived song forms of her native Cabo Verde.

However, much like the Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla's Nuevo Tango, MAR AZUL updates the sound of this sultry, endlessly flowing music with keen production values and a charming use of harmonica, clarinet and trumpet as counterpoint to Evora's dignified, always-truthful singing. All of Evora's currently available albums are worth owning. But for any curious listener unfamiliar with this great world singer, MAR AZUL is a great place to start.
