Black History Month | Elida Almeida Sings Evora

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Africa / Morna

Additional Information

Live from Germany, Elida Almeida spoke to our journalist Sandra Gasana just a few days before her trip to the USA and then Canada with the Césaria Évora Orchestra. Indeed, it was in 2018 that the Cape Verdean singer was asked by her manager to join this legendary group, an offer she couldn’t refuse. Since then, this adventure has opened the doors to the world’s biggest stages, while she continues to work on her own personal projects in parallel. For the occasion, she will be joined by Ceuzany, Lucibela and Teófilo Chantre and former members of Césaria Évora’s group for an evening at Théâtre Maisonneuve, on February 27. Melancholy guaranteed.
