CD Reviews

Introspective moods

David Valenzuela | Cuernavaca, México | 08/31/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This record is like an onion, several layers of different textures full of musical flavor. You hear it for the first time and it sounds just nice, then you hear it a second time and it sounds much better, then each time you hear it again you'll find a new texture, a new color, a new feeling on Sara's voice or on a particular instrument performed by a great group of tremendous musicians. The voice and the music is so well balanced that it take time to notice that under the appearance of simplicity, lies virtuosism in the players and a refreshing and colorful voice. It is a cd that could take you to such a pleasant mood that you should try it just for that.

Good for Sara's debut as solist!
