Kavita Shah – Cape Verdean Blues Album Release Concert
Award-winning vocalist, composer, and educator Kavita Shah’s latest album, Cape Verdean Blues, is the culmination of a diasporic quest to find a spiritual home. The carefully curated album of traditional Cape Verdean music is also a tribute to the charismatic and unapologetically individual artist Cesária Évora, and a love letter to her breathtaking archipelago and its welcoming people. On Cape Verdean Blues, Shah’s ethnographic research on the island of São Vicente, and her bold self-possession have enabled her to achieve a rare feat: creating a world music album that feels like home. Kavita will be joined on stage by three masters of Cape Verdean music: guitarist Bau (musical director of Cesária Évora), guitarist Jorge Almeida, and percussionist Miroca Paris. // Registration is encouraged!
