Sara Serpa & André Matos: Primavera

Read "Primavera" reviewed by Robert Bush


Although there are (mostly) just two musicians on Primavera, the first recorded collaboration between Portuguese songbird Sara Serpa and guitarist Andre Matos--one couldn't ask for a more sonically lustrous offering. That's partially due to the result of judiciously applied multitracking, and to the intricate melodic sense of both musicians. There is nary an extra note or ...

Sara Serpa & André Matos: Primavera

Il clima che lo contraddistingue è lieve, ora più colloquiale, ora più scarno, quasi scabro, ...

On the surface, they may seem the same, but their intent, musical scope and arranging/compositional methodology are usually very different. While it can be seen as a bit of a generalization, the “band" tag often refers to groups ...
