Cesária Évora Besame Mucho | Lyrics
Besame Mucho Lyrics
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
Perderte despues
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
Perderte despues
Mirarme en tus ojos
Verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana yo ya estare lejos
Muy lejos de ti
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
Perderte despues
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
Perderte despues
Music profession
During the 1960s, she began singing on Portuguese journey boats ceasing at Mindelo just as on the nearby radio. It was distinctly in 1985 when at the welcome of Cape Verdean artist Bana she went to perform in Portugal. In Lisbon she was found by the maker José da Silva and welcome to record in Paris.
She recorded the track “Ausência”, created by Yugoslav artist Goran Bregovic, which was discharged as the second track of the soundtrack of the film Underground (1995) by Emir Kusturica.
Évora’s universal achievement came uniquely in 1988 with the arrival of her first business collection La Diva Aux Pieds Nus, recorded in France. Preceding the arrival of the La Diva Aux Pieds Nus collection, Cesária recorded her first LP titled “Cesária” in 1987. This collection was later discharged on CD in 1995 as Audiophile Legends. Her 1992 collection Miss Perfumado sold more than 300,000 duplicates worldwide. It included one of her most praised melodies, “Sodade”.
In 1994, Bau joined her visiting band and after two years, he turned into her melodic executive up to September 1999.
Her 1995 collection Cesária brought her more extensive global achievement and the first Grammy Award assignment. In 1997, she won the KORA All African Music Awards in three classifications: “Best Artist of West Africa”, “Best Album” and “Value of the Jury”. In 2003, her collection Voz d’Amor was granted a Grammy in the World Music category.
In 2006 in Italy Cesária met Alberto Zeppieri (musician, columnist and record maker), who might devote to her “Capo Verde, land d’amore” (www.capoverde-italia.it), dealing with every single imaginative adjustment in Italian. Cesária consented to two-part harmony with Gianni Morandi , Gigi D’Alessio and Ron . The venture, presently in its fifth volume, gives perceivability and raises assets for the UN World Food Program, for which Cesária was the Ambassador from 2003.
Later in 2006, she discharged her next collection Rogamar. It was a triumph and graphed in six European nations including France, Poland and the Netherlands. On her visit in Australia in 2008, she endured a stroke. In 2009, she discharged her last collection Nha Sentimento which was recorded in Mindelo and Paris by José da Silva. The collection arrived at number 6 in Poland and number 21 in France.
In 2009, she was made a knightess of the French Legion of Honor by the French Minister of Culture and Communications Christine Albanel, the primary Cape Verdean to wound up one.
She was granted once and for all at the 2010 Kora All African Music Awards for the “Value of the Jury” for the second time.
