The album “RADIO MINDELO” holds a collection of Cesaria Evora’s very first recordings from the early 60s. Born on the 27th August 1941, Cesaria was around twenty then. She had been discovered at the age of fifteen by musician and songwriter Gregorio Gonçalves (Ti Goy), who continued to sponsor her and follow her artistic progress. Indeed, ten of the twenty-two songs performed by Cesaria on this CD were written by Ti Goy.
These recordings come from different sources - mainly Radio Barlavento in Mindelo. If some of them were released as 45 rpm at that time, on the Capeverdean label Casa Mimosa, most of them are unreleased material.

But whatever the details, it is fascinating to hear Cesaria’s ‘young’ voice and recognise the phrasing, intonations and serene sweetness she still brings to her music today, one of the reasons for her extraordinary success.
