Toronto Sun's Errol Nazareth writes:
"If Santerias were just another flamenco group, I wouldn't be profiling them here today. 
Toronto band Santerias plays flamenco, yes, but their brand is so much more vital and 
alive. Hot Salsa, and more...a potpourri of styles to create their own unique sound. 
There's a hunger for a sound and a band that puts a nice twist to flamenco"

08:30pm: Tisziji Munoz Quartet 
Guitar Player Magazine writes:
A warmly sustained and lightly distorted guitar dances fluidly over a modally-inflected, jazzy, 
piano-bass-drums rhythm section. On the surface, for a few moments, it seems a familiar sound, c
ommon to the last 3 decades of electric jazz. Something is truly different here, though. The notes
and intervals are somehow different - flying by in patterns that don't seem to equate with any of the 
normal guitar fingering patterns and the rhythm breathes in some different way that is beyond s
winging. Clouds and torrents of lightening-fast notes are just slightly slurred or bent to odd, 
microtonal intervals that are both different and somehow exactly right for the heavenly musical 
continuum that they inhabit. The longer you listen - the more you realize that this is something 
unique; both so familiar and so different at the same time, that you know you had better take '
some time to figure out what's going on.
