Cesaria Evora asked heartache to come in and set a spell. The morna , the slow, rhythmically balladic blend of African blues and the Portuguese fado , was the perfect medium. Released in 1998 in the United States, this 1992 album about nostalgia, longing, hit-and-run lovers, and the sea features titles like "Barbincour" ("The Conman") and "Torura" ("Torture").
