From record label:
"Staying faithful to her expression bound with the Istrian homeland Tamara with her new ensemble and her new sound skilfully and naturally incorporates elements of Istrian and Mediterranean national music, jazz and many elements of modern music. She successfully brings about the union of differences by a balanced combination of versatile musicians, but each with a different approach to the music created, while her music, completely original and autochthonous, steps out from time and geographic location boundaries becoming a universal artistic message. With the CD Transhistria Tamara Obrovac definitively establishes herself as an exceptional artist that managed to create her own, original musical expression using the elements of Croatian (Istrian) tradition. This exceptional work of art that with its quality places itself among the best in our musical culture can proudly present Croatia in the world."

"My approach towards music went from jazz standards, through my own compositions, to my finding of an original expression by connecting the language of the folk music of my homeland (Istria, Croatia) with the rhythms and improvisation typical for jazz, so jazz is my freedom and my roots are my inner truth."
Tamara Obrovac

"She is like a tornado on the stage leaving in her wake an ever increasing number of fans..."
