Sara Tavares Essentials

Sara Tavares possesses a boundlessly soulful voice, showcased in early releases across balmy guitar serenades, Brazilian-influenced tunes, pop and gospel with echoes of her Cape Verdean heritage. Embarking on a profound quest for identity while living at the crossroads of cultures in Lisbon—a hotbed for left-field beatsmiths—she released Fitxadu in 2017. The album ingeniously mixes electronic patterns with the expansive musical vocabulary of the African diaspora, setting the stage for uncompromising future explorations, from house mixtures with producer Moullinex to club-driven projections of batuque beats.
