Soulful Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora, who had a run of sold-out concerts at the end of 1999, will return to North America for 11 more shows this summer. The tour will kick off June 20 in Philadelphia,
Evora's powerful voice has popularized the morna, a bluesy Cape Verdean song style that combines West African percussion, Portuguese fados and Brazilian modhinas. She augmented this international blend on last year's Cafe Atlantico by adding Cuban percussionists and Brazilian cellist Jacques Morelenbaum. The album earned a nomination, Evora's fourth, at last year's Grammy Awards. Cesaria Evora tour dates: June 20; Philadelphia, Pa.; Mann Music Center June 21; New Haven, Conn.; Yale University June 22; Vienna, Va.; Wolf Trap Center for the Performing Arts June 23; New York, N.Y.; Carnegie Hall June 24; Saratoga, N.Y.; Saratoga Performing Arts Center June 25; Boston, Mass.; Fleet Boston Pavilion June 27; Toronto, Ontario; Harborfront Center June 29; Denver, Colo.; Denver Botanic Gardens June 30; Los Angeles, Calif.; Greek Theater July 1; San Francisco, Calif.; Masonic Auditorium July 2; Vancouver, British Columbia; Orpheum Theater |
