I met Roberta's work in 2001 and allow me to say she has 3 ( official ) albums, and some tracks recorded on some other brazilian musicians work... She singing live is simply unbelievable, crystal voice, and she is one of the youngest talents here in Brazil, and the most amazing thing is that she sings real brazilian music, from all regions... not only samba and bossa nova, but Maracatu, Coco, Forró, rythms from Brazil's Northeast region. She is making a rescue of what Brazil's has at its best: its musical roots.

Amazing CD - BTW, I recommend the three of them: "Sambas e Bossas", "Braseiro" and the brand new ( about to arrive soon to US, and already released here...yes!) "Que belo estranho dia pra se ter alegria".

I had the chance to meet her after one of her concerts, she can sing anything brightly, like only really a few people can. ( and she's not conceited like some "divas" are ) :)

Hard to go wrong with a gorgeous singer with a gorgeous voice transporting us to another time and another place with bossa nova, light samba, or Portguese ballads ... about the only complaint is the CD could use more tracks ... other than that - great.

Roberta Sa is a versatile singer with great vocal technique. She reminds me a bit of Elis Regina. She has a great sense of rhythm and does not limit herself to one specific genre, like Bossa, but performs more modern material alongside classics by Jobim and Caymmi. Clearly she has a lot of potential. I hope that with time she will mature and be able to sing ballads with the same conviction and feeling as Elis.

There's a golden voice dawning on the Brazilian horizon...and it belongs to beautiful newcomer Roberta Sá! Her songs bring to light a new Bossa Nova, a spice to the Samba and a renewed & refreshed definition to MPB - Música Popular Brasileira (Brazilian pop music). Her voice, which resembles the instruments she sings over on her songs, sweetens the air and the atmosphere where ever she plays.

Her disc `Braseiro' (and `Que Belo Estranho Dia Pra Se Ter Alegria') comes with the highest of recommendations. She's def. a force to be reckoned with.

I've been getting really into Brazilian music for a few years and when I came across Roberta Sa on Pandora I knew I had to get this cd. Every song is fantastic and she really breathes new air into some traditional tunes. I can't get enough of her singing!

This is also a great CD. Nicely paired with her latest release. It is jazzy, fun and easy to listen.
