Pop Matters, CD Review >>
By: Derek Beres
Another debut is Cape Verdean Sara Tavares, whose Balance (Times Square) exhibited a hearty, pop-oriented vibe, woven into acoustic guitar-led harmonies and soft dynamics of her lyrical vocals. While the gorgeous, heartbreaking morna is indicative of the island, Tavares’s upbeat style adds a sanguine edge to Cape Verde (although her balladry is equally exquisite, as shown by her duet with fadista Ana Moures). Senegalese vocalist Julia Sarr, joined by collaborator Patrice Larose, will also play a poetic role, bridging Africa with France (while the Frenchman Larose plays a Spanish song). Their intercontinental release, Set Luna (Sunnyside), was a fusion of forms so integrated that to break it into the parts would truly be missing the whole. 01/12/07 >> go there
