Customer Reviews:

Stellar Album from a Cape Verdian Diva.......2005-10-04

This album is absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Sara shows her mastery of Cape Verdian, Portuguese, and African American musical styles in a stunning display of virtuosity! A highlight of the album are her original compositions in three languages (Cape Verdian, Portuguese, and English). This album dates from 1999, so why no further albums from this dazzling artist? I highly recommend this disc!

CapeVerdean with a twist.......2003-06-28

I LOVED this CD! CapeVerdean with a twist of jazz! Smooth, sexy and soulful. You will hear more of this girl! Beautiful arrangements. You won't be dissappointed!

sara's amazing voice.......2003-04-22

OH MY GOD!! This is what I said when I saw sara tavares for the first time, singing in a tv show for new talents. She's got it!! This girl can sing! You should see her singing live... It's unbeliveble. It's one of the most beautiful voices in the world. Must have it!!

Nasce uma estrela de 1ª grandeza!.......2002-09-10

Sara Tavares resupera suas raízes cabo-verdianas, mas no seu super hit Nha Crecheu não renega a produção europeia, hende her rendition of one particular Psalm is gospel beyond belief for such a young performer!
Give us more Sara! We will abide

Truly, a Star is born..........2002-09-05

Sara's voice is out of this world. In "Nha Cretcheu" she manages to combine a Cape Verdean-creoulo with an European beat and remain somehow true ti her roots. Her Psalm isnspired song is almost like a a southern american gospel - only more deeply so.
The whole album is filled with with this irresistable mixture of Cape Verde, Portugal and USA. And God the Voice! She Will enchant us long and gently and wildly! It's that kind of voice!
