Cesária Évora Orchestra
February 23, 2025 @ 7:00 PM PST
When Grammy Award®-winner Cesária Évora suddenly left us on December 17, 2011, there was a huge outpouring of emotion from her fans. In 2012, thousands flocked to pay their respects at a series of memorable concerts, especially in Toulouse, Lisbon and Paris. Some of the greatest singers in world music joined the musicians who had regularly accompanied Cesária, lending their voices to this ultimate tribute to the woman known as The Barefoot Diva. Bonga, Angélique Kidjo, Lura, Ismaël Lô, Mayra Andrade, and Bernard Lavilliers were there, to name but a few.
