Melancholia
I’m back.
Although it’s February already, I want to wish a Happy 2012 to everybody. I hope this year brings justice, health, love, peace, music and art to the world.
After a busy end of 2011, I went to Portugal for the Holiday Season, which was great for me, despite the feeling of economical crisis that was present everywhere. I do hope that my country recovers from this situation, and that people find a way to not let toxic thoughts contaminate their minds. Life is good and short. We need to fight back and create.
I am back in NYC, ready for new projects and ideas…more to come soon.

Check out this brief interview with Adeline Sire, on The World /BBC radio show.
Here’s the most recent review of MOBILE on Jazziz Magazine:
“When Serpa solos on “Gold Digging Ants,” she creates music any trumpeter or saxophonist would be proud of — varied in texture and dynamics, elastic in rhythm, but with a core motivic logic that seems to emerge spontaneously from one phrase to the next. So, no, listeners don’t need to Google all those books to appreciate this rich, satisfying CD or to feel their weighty influence on the singer”.
Thank you for all the support and hope to see you soon,
Sara
