"Sodade" This is a really touching, beautiful, melancholic song, Cesária's voice was marvelous, and this was such a fine performance, hope you enjoy it

Saudade - 'the love that remains when something/someone is lost...' Feeling the love for Brazil this morning, they'll be back...
I miss this lady! RIP
#3 in my series music to seduce women with. Introducing the girl you are wooing to a wonderful new sound from an obscure artist will win you major brownie points. And they don’t get more obscure than this 66-year-old songstress from Cape Verde (off the coast of Africa). She sings "morna," a regional style that combines world music with British sea shanties and Brazilian folk music. It sounds weird, but her silky voice combines with the rich string arrangements and funky African rhythms to create a totally unique music experience that is guaranteed to both impress your date and put her in a nice, sultry mood.
She won’t understand anything she’s saying, but the universal language of longing and lust is easy to understand in this amazing woman’s voice. Her honey-sweet Portuguese vocals play over a gentle flamenco-style guitar riff to create a hypnotic song that will seamlessly melt into the background.
