All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 17, 2023

Jazz vocalist and researcher Kavita Shah was born and raised in New York City, but for the past seven years she's spent extensive time on the island of São Vicente. Inspired by her love of legendary Cape Verdean singer Cesária Évora, Shah researched and studied the sounds of the Cape Verde islands. The result is a recently released new album, Cape Verdean Blues, and Shah joins us in studio for a Listening Party.
