by Cesária Évora Cesária Évora died on 17 December 2011 aged 70. I only learned about this yesterday from our local free magazine Mi Pueblo . I am sure there were obituaries on the web, they just did not make headlines. (What a contrast to the mass hysteria surrounding the death of Whitney Houston last month, may I add.) Voz d’Amor was the first CD of Évora I’ve heard. It is one of albums I never tire to listen to. Like all of Évora’s works, it is soaked in nostalgia. But my favourite track — if I had to choose, that is — would be Pomba , which, if not quite sodade -less, is a joy of a song all the same.
