Cesaria Evora
The Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora has had an unusual career. The singer, known as �The barefoot diva,� started recording albums at the ripe age of 47. And she went on to release 10 more albums, many of them huge hits. But in 2008, Evora suffered a stroke while on tour in Australia. That did slow her down a bit. But not entirely, as The World’s Adeline Sire reports.
