Album Description
The music of Sara Tavares can be best described as "sunshine soul" and "XNITI" is suffused with it. Brimming with Cape Verdean guitar licks, Angolese rhythms and warm Portuguese vocals, Sara never sounded more intense. This is a startling collection, packed with surprises that displays how progressively richer and more expansive Sara Tavares' vocal repetoire has become since her previous album "Balance". Her songs are lyrcial, sensual and more textured. They are intimate but also wrapped in irresistibly funky rhythms drawn from the Cape Verdean / African / Brazilian / Caribbean diaspora. Themes of love - spiritual and human - embrace philosophical reflections that describe, says Tavares, "the soul taking flight." "XINTI" she says is "like an inner prayer from someone taking a deep breath and moving on."
