Fantastic show Sara Tavares in London Jazz Cafe
Last night (20 Nov), Sara Tavares played at the London Jazz Cafe for a 'great crowd' according to one of the people in the audience.Howard Male (the Independent / www.theartdesk.com) wrote a steaming review:
"Portuguese singer-songwriter Sara Tavares trades in understatement. She strokes rather than strums guitar chords, her two percussionists are more likely to brush a drum than whack it hard, and her soft close-to-the-mike voice specialises in gentle yearning rather than soul-girl histrionics. So the intimate space of the Jazz Café seems much better suited to her than, say, the Barbican where she had the unenviable task earlier this year of being a viable support act to the larger-than-life Malian diva, Oumou Sangare. As it turned out, Sara did a perfectly good job of warming up Oumou’s crowd, but she was definitely much more at home last night in front of an audience who were there only for her."
"Artists like Sara Tavares should be treasured because it’s so rare for them to get their music, in its purist most uncompromised form, out there for public consumption. Tavares may produce the gentlest music and have the sweetest of smiles, but she must have had to be one tough cookie to have made it this far completely on her own terms, as her music suggests that she has."

Sara Tavares live at the Barbican, London:
Lusaphone lushness of SaraTavares, who played instantly memorable songs from her new album Xinti, bright with ukulele and her own acoustic guitar. - FINANCIAL TIMES - UK ****

World music 'goth father' Charlie Gillet said after her live gig in London for BBC 3 radio:
"I was bowled over by Sara Tavares' live performance, having already been bedazzled by her guitar playing during a session recorded for World on BBC 3 two days earlier."
---------------
"the songs Sara Tavares has written here are bursting with warmth."
The Scotsman - UK
---------------
review of the album Xinti:
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.
- PAROOL - NL

Mixed Magazine:
"Xinti is Tavares best album sofar.The songs are more exciting and fuller. A solid atmosphere to sink away in."
---------------
Jazz Magazine *****:
"Sara Tavares has refined her profession of singer songwriter. You have to listen several times to Xinti in order to discover the introspective beauty behind the soft pulsating melodies and rhythms."
