Sara Tavares



I just stumbled across a very cool record, "Balance" by singer/songwriter, Sara Tavares. Sara is from Portugal hailing from second generation Cape Verdean immigrants. Her music is a mix of Cape Verde and Portuguese styles with the modern sounds of Soul, Bossa Nova, and Funk. Very gentle, but it kicks.
Check out the nice little videoclip of Sara doing the title track at

Tom - Following your trip with intrest. Sounds like a wonderful experience. Bye the way I heard Cockburn has gone to Iraq to make music. I always liked his S.A. stuff.

Tim - That Cockburn is one committed guy. Hopefully he will make it back.
