Kavita Shah is an award-winning vocalist, composer, researcher, polyglot, and educator who makes work in deep engagement with the jazz tradition, while also addressing and advancing its global sensibilities.
She will perform from her enchanting new album 'Cape Verdean Blues', a carefully curated love letter to Shah's idol and global music legend Cesária Évora and her breathtaking archipelago. Shah, herself a daughter of diaspora who resonated with the music's language of longing, has teamed up with Évora's longtime bandmates–including the master acoustic guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Bau–to create her most personal work to date: this is music that makes you want to dance and cry at the same time.
