The Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora put an end to his career on Friday, told the Lusa agency source her promoter Tumbao, which represents the artist.

The same source said that "despite the sadness of Cesaria, who did not want to leave the stage for medical advice is forced to do so."

The concerts that the singer was scheduled for next week are all canceled.

Cesaria Evora, who turned 70 years on August 27, came to Paris a few days "in a weakened state", and doctors who follow the artist "forced her to annul the next tour." 

The singer decided in accordance with her producer and manager Joe Smith, "that would definitely put an end to his career."

Born in Mindelo where she was born in 1941, Cesaria Evora is considered the "Morna ambassador", which conveys the melancholy music of Cape Verde islands and has released 24 albums, including original, live and in partnership with several other artists countries.

On May 10 last year, Cesaria Evora has undergone emergency surgery to the heart, in France, where he spent a month in recovery.

On 16 June this year, the singer returned to Cape Verde at her birthplace just to "rest" so "all the Cape Verdeans could see that she was ok" she said at the time.

Shortly thereafter, she again joined her musicians to sing and prepare a new album of originals.
