Cesaria Evora – Radio Mindelo (Early Recordings) 2LP Coloured Vinyl

Cesaria Evora – Radio Mindelo (Early Recordings)

This 22-track collection by Césaria Evóra contains the very first recordings made by the Cape Verdean singer in the early 1960s, with all tracks originally cut for the Mindelo radio station Radio Barlavento. The majority of the pieces were written by Gregorio Gonçalves, better known as "Ti Goy", who plays the guitar and/or drums on all tracks that also feature songwriter Frank Cavaquim. The songs on this album range from love songs to social commentaries on issues of the day. Radio Mindelogives listeners the chance to listen to the familiar voice of the "Queen of Morna" in her purest essence during her early career.

Radio Mindelo (Early Recordings) is exclusively available for Record Store Day 2023 as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on purple marbled vinyl.
