World Music: Cesaria Evora, "Africa Nossa"
(Cape Verde) Here's a charming coupling and a great song. Cesaria Evora, "the barefoot diva," as she is sometimes called has never been one for visual fireworks. But in the company of the emotive Lo, she manages a quiet, slow smile. The song is a collaboration between Lo, Nando da Cruz and Teofilo Chantre, (who has penned some of Cape Verde's finest songs) and is an anthem of hope for Africa as she sings, "Sons of Africa, let us unite, hand in hand, for there's strength in unity."
