Cesaria Evora (1941-2011) is the jewel from Cape Verde. "Is," not "was," as her light will never dim. Her song, "Voz d'Amor" received the Grammy in 2004. The "Barefoot Diva!" was her aka, derived from her discomfort from wearing shoes on stage. In 2010, she received for the second time the Kora All African Music Award. She was knighted in France in addition to becoming the first from her country to be inducted into the French Legion of Honor. Today is dedicated to her music.
