Cesaria Evora in Amsterdam

One of my favorite singers, and by far the best singer in the whole African continent, Cesaria Evora, will perform here in Amsterdam on the 24th of October in the Royal Theatre Carré.

Cesaria Evora, the Queen of the Creole Fado, was born in the Cape Verde Islands and is currently living in the US. She started her career as singer in a Local café in Cape Verde and was only discovered when she turned 50 by a French producer, who took her to Paris and produced her first hit single, Sodade (1991), a number one hit in several European countries.

It's her second tour in the Netherlands in one year time. Her last preformance was at the Concert Theatre in Amsterdam. I went there with a friend of mine and we had the best seats in the theatre. We sat less than one metre of the stage and spoke to her at the end of the Concert.

Carré has been renovated and restyled and it now has a great acoustic and very comfortable seatings. It appears to be an amazing experience. I would love to go to the concert, and to see Cesaria again and to experience the acoustic of the theatre. I'll go tomorrow to inform about the ticket prices. Last year I paid 69 euros for one ticket........

Update: prices are between 34 en 54 euros!
