Marcin Kydryński prezentuje SIESTA w drodze: Tribute to Cesaria Evora - NOSPR

Tribute to Cesaria Evora returns! This time, the SIESTA on the road stage welcomes the Cesária Évora Orchestra, joined by very special guests. Who are they? We will reveal them soon.
This concert is more than a tribute - it is a celebration! The orchestra was founded in 2014 by musicians who accompanied the “Barefoot Diva” on stage, together with the cream of Cape Verde’s music scene. Today they celebrate her work in a joyful, danceable atmosphere on stages across Europe, including the Les Nuits de Fourvière festival in Lyon and the Verbier Festival in Switzerland.
We will hear Cesária’s most beautiful songs, mornas and coladeras, perhaps including “Sodade”, “Angola” and “Petit Pays”, hits that have long since become classics. It is a musical journey between melancholy and swaying rhythms, one that makes it hard not to hum along. Tribute to Cesaria Evora is a project well known and much loved by Polish audiences. It recalls a memorable night at the Coliseu in Lisbon in 2012, when the greatest artists of Cape Verde paid tribute to their icon.

Marcin Kydryński on the concert:
“We will hear Cesária Évora’s most famous songs in surprising, fresh interpretations. These will be some of the most beautiful evenings of the coming year. To be remembered for a lifetime.”

CESARIA EVORA
She was born in 1941 in Mindelo. She recorded her first album in Paris in 1988, at the age of 47. Her breakthrough came with the album “Miss Perfumado” (1992). Critics compared her to Billie Holiday, and thanks to her, morna, the melancholic song of Cape Verde, conquered the world. She sold more than 6 million records and received a Grammy Award and the Legion of Honour. She had a special bond with Polish audiences: her albums went gold and platinum in Poland, and she performed here many times. She died in 2011 in her hometown of Mindelo.

SIESTA on the road
SIESTA on the road brings to the stage artists known from Marcin Kydryński’s Sunday radio programme Pora Siesty.
At Siesta, the meeting of cultures, the blurring of borders with respect for regional traditions, and reconciliation across historical divides are, alongside the music itself, the most precious values.
