I was fortunate enough to see Ms. Tavares live at the San Francisco Jazz Festival in 2007 and this DVD in this box set captures the exact good vibes you feel while watching her in person. Even if you already have her two albums, like myself, this purchase is worth the dupes.

I highly recommend it....

This review is from: Sara Tavares - Alive in Lisboa (Amazon Exclusive) 2 Cd plus 1 DVD (Audio CD)

Times Square Records presents "SARA TAVARES - ALIVE IN LISBOA" (Amazon Exclusive) (2008) -- Sara Tavares (born 1978) is a Portuguese singer, composer and guitarist --- She is of Cape Verdean descent and grew up in Portugal --- She composes African influenced world music --- Tavares won the 1993/1994 final of the Endemol song contest Chuva de Estrelas (performing Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time"), which helped her win the Portuguese Television Song Contest final in 1994, consequently earning a place the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, with the song "Chamar a Música" --- In 2006 she made a TV advertising for the bank Millennium BCP.

Tavares is known for singing the European-Portuguese version of "God Help the Outcasts" for the Disney movie "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," which won a Disney award for the best translation without the original --- "I don't fit into one music genre of world music, I am no typical Cape Verdian musician. I'd rather stand at the beginning of a new tradition of music of the diaspora, of young African immigrants in Europe who don't only look back."

Sara as she sits on the stage, under dim light, plucking rippling melodies from a small thumb piano --- The audience includes many for whom her songs raise memories of their homeland or thoughts of their parents' birthplace --- And the songs seem to come to her like prayers. "Just me and my guitar," she tells the audience. "God and my imagination."

Great job by Times Square Records --- looking forward to more high quality titles from Times Square Records and the Silva Screen market --- order your copy now from Amazon or Silva plenty of copies available, stay tuned once again for top notch releases --- where they are experts in releasing treasures to the collector --- A special thank you to Amazon for this exclusive release.

This review is from: Sara Tavares - Alive in Lisboa (Amazon Exclusive) 2 Cd plus 1 DVD (Audio CD)

Having already purchased and loved her "Balance^" CD, I was delighted to receive this set with "Mi Ma Bo^"CD and "Alive in Lisboa" DVD. The DVD was worth the price alone for the interview and performance which show an artist and her band who love making beatiful and original music.
