Join us for an unforgettable evening with award-winning jazz vocalist-composer Kavita Shah as she presents "Cape Verdean Blues" at Joe's Pub. After seven years of deep musical exploration on the Atlantic island of São Vicente, Shah unveils a project that pays homage to the legendary Cesária Évora. This performance, set for October 7, 2024, promises a blend of traditional mornas and coladeiras, brought to life with the collaboration of Évora’s longtime bandmates, including the master acoustic guitarist and musical director Bau.

"Cape Verdean Blues" is more than just a concert; it's a carefully curated love letter to the breathtaking archipelago that inspired Évora and a generation of listeners. Shah, a daughter of diaspora, connects with the music’s profound language of longing, creating an experience that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Critics have hailed the project as "gorgeous" (The Guardian), "quietly riveting" (The New York Times), and "completely new" (NPR).
