Wow! Sara Tavares' voice! I played the video for my mother and we both loved it. I'm going to look for more of her songs. Cesária Évora is from Capo Verde too, yes?

As for community... I was reading a Harvard study about it...a 70+ years study about happiness. Interesting conclusion.

I depend on community to keep me going...some time ago, I discovered it needs effort.

This was such a good read!

Hey Neena! I'm glad your mom loved it too! yes look into more of her songs, I love " Balancê" in particular. Yes indeed, she was cape verdian just like Cesaria Evora. I sometimes wonder how such a small archipelago created so much good music. If you like capeverdian music you should definetely check Mayra Andrade too, she's one of the most famous capeverdian artist, her whole first album has been on replay for me. And also Elina Almeida. Should I make a playlist ? 🤣.

Oooh my, so much good music. I will definitely check them out. I have a high school friend living in Brasil, I must share this with her. Ha! Your playlist would be well appreciated.
