Release Notes:
Sara Tavares was only 16 years old when she won two
of Portugals most prestigious TV music contests.
Born out second generation Cape Verdian immigrants,
Sara grew up between two cultures. Initially known
as a singer and composer of Gospel, Funk and Soul,
she gradually incorporated more African music in
her compositions. Her second album Mi Ma B,
produced by Parisian Lokua Kanza, reached gold in
Portugal and was a mix of African rhythms and
melodic pop songs. After a long wait of five years,
finally her new album Balance was released in
February 2006. On this record, produced by Sara
herself, she wrote and composed all the songs and
played many of the instruments. Balance is a
beautiful record on which Sara shows to be a very
talented contemporary singer/song writer, who has
managed to combine in a subtle and honest way
contemporary music with her African roots.
"The title of the new album is 'Xinti' which means
as much as 'Feel it'. It is no trouble at all to
actualy do that. (...) We hear wonderful backing
vocals, delicious light dialogues between
percussion and drums, a camel walk on bass, moving
guitar riffs, a flute or ukelele in teh distance
and that o so clear, heavenish voice of Tavares. If
you put on this record you'll be whisteling though
your day before you know it."
Enjoy it and remember... if you like it, buy it!
