The Story

Formed1959OriginUnited StatesGenrepop musicLabelCapitol Records

Picture a sun-soaked dance floor, the air electric with the sounds of smooth harmonies and infectious grooves. That’s the essence of Tavares, a talented collective of five brothers who hail from the vibrant Cape Verdean-American community. Nestled between New Bedford and Providence, their childhood was a rich tapestry of musical influences. With a knack for crafting irresistible pop melodies, they caught the ears of fans with hits like "It Only Takes a Minute" and "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel." Under the banner of Capitol Records, Tavares became synonymous with the soulful sound that defined an era. Their music invites you to reminisce, a timeless reminder that some songs have the power to transport you back to the joy of carefree nights and endless dancing.
