I like Evora too. I think at least three of her albums are essential: São Vicente, Cesaria, and the early live set Live in Olympia -- not that her other albums are below par, but these three allows you to sample different facets of her vocal talent.

But, unless you're crazy about her, give her concerts a pass (stick with the Live in Olympia album instead) -- she has absolutely no rapport with her audience: perfect delivery, business-like glamor, but, unfortunately, no soul. The only saving grace was her absolutely brillant band.
