5.0 out of 5 stars Has she come down from Heaven?, November 27, 2001

By 

Roberto Agosta (Mozambique, South East Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mi Ma Bo (Audio CD)

I heard Sara live in Harare, Zimbabwe in 2000 and was so impressed by such true rare talent. She is young, she is passionate, she is real. A true musician (like not many left out there!) with a lovely, clear and controlled voice. She writes her own songs and music with a rare combination of melody, rhythm and poetry that stems out of heaven. She sings with her heart and she will take you with her. When you hear words like "se eu beber desta luz que apaga a noite em mim..." (meaning: If I drank of this light that turns off the darkness in me...) you will know what I mean!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar Album from a Cape Verdian Diva, October 4, 2005

By 

Protek (Miami, Fl USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mi Ma Bo (Audio CD)

This album is absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Sara shows her mastery of Cape Verdian, Portuguese, and African American musical styles in a stunning display of virtuosity! A highlight of the album are her original compositions in three languages (Cape Verdian, Portuguese, and English). This album dates from 1999, so why no further albums from this dazzling artist? I highly recommend this disc!
