Sara Tavares

Balance
Times Square

Poignant simplicity and delightful African rhythms infuse this touching set from the acclaimed Cape Verdean singer-songwriter. Tavares sings of being torn between cultures in such a general and uplifting way that the casual listener may miss the details, but they'll almost certainly pick up on the emotional core. The startling amalgamation of styles on such standouts as "Poka Terra" and "Planeta Sukri," topped by one of the international music scene's sweetest voices, make "Balance" one to seek out.
