"From 1995 on, each time Cesaria Evora went into the studio, her producer José da Silva requested that she record more tracks than were actually needed for the new album. The aim was to choose a set of songs that fitted together naturally, forming a record that would delight listeners from start to finish. Lusafrica's Mãe Carinhosa ('Mother Affection') offers thirteen previously unreleased tracks, spanning the period from the recording sessions for Cabo Verde in 1997 to Rogamar in 2005. As always, her backing musicians provide brilliant accompaniment, allowing Evora's voice to sweep us away on yet another voyage of nostalgia."

"Radio Mindelo features Cesaria Evora's long lost radio recordings from the 1960s, made by the Cape Verdean station Radio Barlavento. These twenty-two tracks document the first tentative steps in the barefoot diva's long and distinguished career. Listen to Radio Mindelo and you will discover the voice of Evora's youth, a voice in which you will recognize the same phrasing, the same intonations and the same serenit4/12y it has today. However, the rough production quality of the original tapes and the spontaneity of the songs create a special feeling of discovery, of hearing the sound of a legend before the legend existed." Deluxe hardbound packaging, including a 32 page book of full-color photos and liner notes in English and French.
