Cesaria Evora -Besame Mucho

by Richard

I figure it is time to take a break from politics and enjoy the beautiful music of Cesária Évora. For those who do not know who she is she is a Cape Verdean singer.She is often called the “barefoot diva” for her preference of performing without shoes. Cape Verde is an island near Angola, that speaks portuguese.

Here is more information on her from Wikipedia.

"Bésame Mucho" is a Mexican song written in 1940 by Consuelo Velázquez before her sixteenth birthday. The phrase "bésame mucho" can be translated into English as "kiss me a lot". According to Velázquez, she wrote this song even though she had never been kissed yet at the time. Also she was inspired by the aria "Quejas, o la Maja y el Ruiseñor" from the Spanish 1916 opera Goyescas by Enrique Granados.

Bésame Mucho" is also known by translated names such as "Kiss Me Much", "Kiss Me a Lot", "Kiss Me Again and Again.

Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!!
