Kavita Shah performs her new album "Cape Verdean Blues" live tomorrow night!
Chandler Center for the Arts, 71 Main St, Randolph: Friday, October 11 • 7pm
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. Shah is the 2023-2025 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow and a 2023-2025 Composers & the Voice Fellow with the American Opera Project
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.
