From the show
The curator of a new exhibition in Paris dedicated to the legendary barefoot diva, Cesaria Evora, spoke to FRANCE 24 about the singer's profound influence on world music. Evora began her career as a teenager, performing for sailors in her native Cape Verde, but it wasn't until the age of 50 that she was discovered in Paris. Evora's deep captivating voice singing songs in the Morna style soon became famous across the planet. Curator Emilie Silva joined us in Perspective.
