Mayra Andrade Covers Cesária Évora For Okay Acoustic

Cabo Verdean singer Mayra Andrade is one of the leading voices championing and interpreting the sounds of her country's morna music for modern ears through her pop and reggae-influenced compositions.

In this episode of Okay Acoustic, Mayra performs a serene and hypnotizing tribute to Cabo Verde's queen of morna, the "Barefoot Diva" Cesária Évora. Mayra ran through a pristine and stripped-down rendition of the late Cesária's Voz D'Amor ballad "Isolada" accompanied by Thomas Naïm on acoustic guitar.
