One of the most special nights of the festival took place on Saturday evening, May 5, 2018: the “Cesaria Évora Night,” held in memory of the legendary, Grammy-winning artist Cesaria Évora, remembered as the Barefoot Diva. On this night, the Cesaria Évora Orchestra accompanied wonderful Cape Verdean musicians such as Lura, Teofilo Chantre, Nancy Vieira, Lucibella and Elida Almeida, all of whom had worked with this iconic artist for many years.
