The emotion her singing elicits in the listener is summarized
in a beautiful
quote from the great Nobel Prize-winning Portuguese author
Jose Saramago:
"The first time I heard Tania Libertad sing,
it
was a revelation from on high - from a place where only a
naked voice might go,
alone
in the world,
unaccompanied by any instrument.
Tania
was singing the Rafael Alberti composition "La Paloma"
acapella,
and
each note touched a string in my soul until I was completely
dazzled."
