SUMMERSTAGE PRESENTS: Cesária Évora Orchestra / Mayra Andrade / Dino D’Santiago

Cesaria Evora Orchestra: After the passing of Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora in 2011, Khaly (piano), Totinho (saxophone), Miroca (percussion), Zé Paris (bass) and a few others formed the Cesaria Evora Orchestra, playing a first concert at the 2014 Gamboa Festival in Praia as a tribute to the iconic singer and her tremendous achievements.

Mayra Andrade: Her firmly-rooted, distinctive, poetic, topical voice was immediately described a few years ago as “the other Cape Verde” – the sound of a Cesaria Evora freed of the twists of fate and patina of tradition.

Claudino de Jesus Borges Pereira: Was born in Portugal 30 years ago.  With the encouragement of his father, Dino began to discover his roots on the island Santiago. The artist wanted to try to fuse Africa beats with Fado. He changed his stage name to Dino d’Santiago and returned to Cape Verde with feelings, experience and maturity.

Doors open at 2pm / Show starts at 3pm
