"What a show! Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company presented The Art Of Believing, and early into the show, the audience suspended their disbelief at the skill and talent each member of the Company demonstrated. The Epstein Theatre was a brilliant setting for the show, small enough for us to feel truly involved in the experience with excellent sound throughout. Daniel Martinez’s flamenco guitar playing was breathtaking, very intense and atmospheric. He sat alone on a chair in the middle of the stage and that was it for the first couple of numbers and that was all that was needed. But then he was joined by two male and female flamenco singers and with rhythmic clapping and heartfelt vocals, if you closed your eyes, you could imagine the sun on your face, blue skies, a cold glass of wine while you surveyed the Spanish countryside. There was also flamenco dancing. Emotional and passionate then lighter and slightly comedic as musicians from the cast joined in. The accompanying two guitarists and an exceptional violinist brought the songs to life with such energy! Daniel didn’t speak too much during the performance but he gave us a little background to the compositions and informed us that the beautiful flamenco dancer was his fiancé. It was pure flamenco at its vibrant and passionate best and I would definitely go to see this again."

Their mastery of the music was evident, showcasing not only excellent musicianship but also a deep respect for the timeless classics they played. A truly unforgettable evening with exceptional musicians who know how to entertain!"

"we invited the incredible "Dupa Trio" to play at our new year's eve party for our lawyer firm, "GRO" the music that they played was perfect for the event, the crowd loved them. Have to say, that compared to the amazing value that they bring as a band, their fee is really fair and reasonable! looking forward to book them again in 2023 Erik"

"Außergewöhnliche musikalische Qualität und starke Bühnenpräsenz Die Zusammenarbeit von Mykola Honcharenko und Altina Destani überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Hier treffen zwei Künstler aufeinander, die nicht nur technisch auf sehr hohem Niveau arbeiten, sondern auch ein feines Gespür für Atmosphäre und Publikum mitbringen. Honcharenko beeindruckt durch seine Vielseitigkeit und musikalische Bandbreite. Seine Arrangements wirken durchdacht, ohne überladen zu sein, und schaffen eine solide Grundlage für die gemeinsamen Auftritte. Dabei gelingt es ihm, unterschiedliche Stilrichtungen – von klassischer Musik bis hin zu modernen Einflüssen – stimmig zu verbinden. Altina Destani ergänzt dieses Fundament mit einer ausdrucksstarken, klar geführten Stimme. Ihre Interpretation klassischer Arien ist ebenso überzeugend wie ihre Ausflüge in andere Genres. Besonders hervorzuheben ist ihre Fähigkeit, Emotionen präzise zu transportieren, ohne dabei an technischer Kontrolle zu verlieren. Im Zusammenspiel entsteht eine Dynamik, die beim Publikum unmittelbar ankommt. Die Auftritte wirken authentisch, konzentriert und gleichzeitig lebendig. Man merkt, dass hier nicht einfach ein Programm abgespult wird, sondern echte musikalische Interaktion stattfindet. Darüber hinaus ist auch der kulturelle Kontext ihrer Zusammenarbeit bemerkenswert. Unterschiedliche musikalische Hintergründe werden nicht nur nebeneinandergestellt, sondern sinnvoll miteinander verknüpft. Das verleiht dem Gesamtprojekt eine zusätzliche inhaltliche Tiefe. Unterm Strich handelt es sich um ein künstlerisch sehr stimmiges Gesamtbild mit klarer Handschrift und hoher Qualität. ----------------------------------------- Outstanding musical quality and compelling stage presence The collaboration between Mykola Honcharenko and Altina Destani stands out as consistently impressive. Both artists demonstrate not only a high level of technical skill but also a strong sense of musical expression and audience engagement. Honcharenko brings notable versatility to the performance. His arrangements are well-structured and balanced, allowing different musical styles to blend naturally without feeling forced. He creates a solid and flexible foundation that supports the overall artistic direction. Altina Destani complements this with a powerful and well-controlled voice. Her interpretations of classical pieces are precise and expressive, while her ability to move across genres adds further depth. What is particularly striking is her capacity to convey emotion clearly without compromising technical quality. Together, they create a dynamic and authentic performance. There is a clear sense of interaction rather than routine execution, which translates into a strong connection with the audience. The performances feel focused, yet vibrant and engaging. Another notable aspect is the cultural dimension of their collaboration. Different musical traditions are not merely juxtaposed but thoughtfully integrated, resulting in a coherent and meaningful artistic outcome. Overall, this is a highly convincing and well-rounded artistic partnership with a distinct identity and consistently high quality."

"I have been working with Pablo for a couple of years now and feel he has been a great addition to my books, to offer his services to my couples. Not only is he a super talented musician, but he is really a lovely guy and great to work with too. He has a beautiful range of music and is happy to learn songs also, as well as playing his own original music too! He is professional and very reliable, always turning up extra early to the events to ensure all is perfect before we start. He is great at getting back to the couples by email and answering all their questions and he is very helpful in recommending pieces of music for certain parts of their day. I love working with Pablo, and I love his music.. and am very happy to recommend him to everyone else! "

"Guillermo played at a memorial service for our family and friends. Outside. We asked him to play slow, sad and pretty. He did exactly that. A wonderful rendition of Over The Rainbow. He played an amplified acoustic guitar. Nice and loud over his PA system. Really talented guy. His fingers like an octopus moving up and down the fretboard. No mistakes, Latin flavor. I am sure he can play other genres as need be. He reads and writes music, cool guy."

"Reggie Graves & Jazz Theory performance was outstanding in this event. Performing their Original material as well as songs from other popular Smooth Jazz Artist, their high energy appeal along with their ability to be Smooth when the moment is right makes them versatile and engaging to their audience! This Band is different and has something special about them! You want be disappointed if you book them they are definitely worth what they’re asking for and then some!!!"
