Sara Tavares is a Portuguese singer, composer and guitarist. She is of Cape Verdean descent and grew up in Portugal. She composes African influenced world music. All those influences and more come to bear on her CD, "Balance", which mixes the longing of Fado music and the lilting sensuality of Brazilian styles with a jazzy, alt-soul sound Singing in a combination of Portuguese, Angolan, Crioulo and English, Sara Tavares' songs are quintessentially Cape Verdean yet also personal. "Balancê" is about the need for balance in all of life.
