Netsayi - World Sessions
WIE IS NETSAYI?
Eerst valt haar stem
op, dan haar persoonlijkheid. Beide sprankelend en onalledaags. In een
wereld van oppervlakkig entertainment is Netsayi een verademing. 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'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.

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."
