Sara Tavares (Lisbon, 1 February 1978 - Lisbon, 19 November 2023) was a Portuguese singer-songwriter. Second-generation Portuguese of Cape Verdean descent, Sara was brought up by an elderly matriarch in her community after her father left for the States in search of a better life, her mother having traveled south in pursuit of the same ends. Sara showed great musical promise from a young age, a potential that was cultivated and bore fruit while Tavares was still in her teens. <a href="https://ww
