Cesaria

Cesaria is everywhere. She gave her name to the airport, she is on the 2000 escudos notes, she has a museum and is pictured in many shops. Today was the fourth anniversary of her death (in Mindelo where she was also born), so there was a procession downtown, including a stop at her house. We followed the hundreds of people present, some wearing T-shirts "4 ano sodade, obrigada cize" (4 years of sad nostalgia, thank you Cize) and singing her songs. Cesaria Evora is definitely the local Bob Marley.
