Ze heeft een reputatie opgebouwd van een voortreffelijke live artieste. Ze bundelt en versmelt Afrikaanse pop, jazz, soul en folk tot een intiem en soms schurend singer songwriter geluid. Ze toert met World Sessions in 7 shows door Nederland:

    Deolinda in top 100 of Times

    Deolinda's album Cancao ao Lado is on a third place in the top 20 of the world section of Times' top 100 of 2009:

    3 Deolinda: Cancao ao Lado (World Connection)

    Ana Bacalhau and her hip young colleagues combine strains of fado with a pop sensibility and an eye for the foibles of the people of Lisbon. The tunes are gorgeous.

    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."
