Cesaria Evora, a singer from the Cape Verde Islands, whose "Morna" style of local folk songs has made her an international star late on in her career, listens to a question during a press conference in Mexico City May 2. A French producer discovered Evora singing in bars and clubs in the Cape Verde islands, and she is now revered as the "Barefoot Diva." Evora is in Mexico City to perform a series of concerts as part the Latin American leg of a World tour.
