Her songs were often devoted to themes of love, homesickness, nostalgia, and the history of the Cape Verdean people. She was known for performing barefoot and for her habit of smoking and drinking on stage during intermissions. Évora's music has received many accolades, including a Grammy Award in 2004, and it has influenced many Cape Verde diaspora musicians as well as American pop singer Madonna. Évora is also known as Cize, the Barefoot Diva, and the Queen of Morna.
Growing up in poverty, Évora began her singing career in local bars at age sixteen. She saw relative popularity within Cape Verde over the following years, but she retired from singing when it did not provide her with enough money to care for her children. Évora returned to music in 1985, when she contributed to a women's music anthology album in Portugal. There, she met music producer José "Djô" da Silva, who signed Évora to his record label, Lusafrica. She released her debut album, La Diva Aux Pieds Nus, in 1988. Évora saw worldwide success after releasing her fourth and fifth albums: Miss Perfumado (1992) and Cesária (1995). She developed health problems in the late 2000s and died from respiratory failure and hypertension in 2011.

Miss Perfumado
Cesária Évora - B.Leza
Dixa'm morrê ta sonhá
Na sombra di odjo magoado
Duma pequena gentil
Di um corpo perfumado
Dixa'm morrê ta sonhá
Na sombra di odjo magoado
Duma pequena gentil
Di um corpo perfumado
Assim dixa'm môrré ô flor
Na sombra di bô odjinho
Dixa'm morré ta sonhá
Assim cuma pomba nasce ninho
Assim dixa'm môrré ô flor
Na sombra di bô odjinho
Dixa'm morré ta sonhá
Assim cuma pomba nasce ninho
Si pomba é feliz nasce ninho
A mim também mi é feliz
Na sombra di odjo ma carinho
Di um miss perfumado
Si pomba é feliz nasce ninho
A mim também mi é feliz
Na sombra di odjo ma carinho
Di um miss perfumado
Assim dixa'm môrré ô flor
Na sombra di bô odjinho
Dixa'm morré ta sonhá
Assim cuma pomba nasce ninho
Assim dixa'm môrré ô flor
Na sombra di bô odjinho
Dixa'm morré ta sonhá
Assim cuma pomba nasce ninho

Dixa'm morrê ta sonhá
Na sombra di odjo magoado
Duma pequena gentil
Di corpo perfumado
Assim dixa'm môrré ô flor
Na sombra di bô odjinho
Dixa'm morré ta sonhá
Assim cuma pomba na sê ninho
Si pomba é feliz na sê ninho
A mim também mi é feliz
Na sombra di odjo ma carinho
Di Miss Perfumado
