"We booked Soul Funk Secret for our wedding in Suffolk .They were a fantastic addition to our special day – talented, professional, friendly, accommodating. Everyone was exhausted from doing so much dancing! Vita has a fantastic voice and the overall sound was amazing with a great set list. We were sad when we got to the last song as could have done another round! Thanks guys. Hope to see you again some time. Marie and Clin x Marie Fairish"

"Andrè Fischer is an absolutely outstanding musician! His talent, passion, and stage presence are truly captivating. Every performance feels heartfelt and authentic, showcasing not only his technical skill but also deep emotion. His music connects with his audience in such a powerful way — you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. His voice and instrumental skills were flawless, and the sound quality was top-notch. It’s rare to see such a perfect blend of passion, professionalism, and pure talent. I can’t wait to see him perform again! A professional through and through, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended! Andre ONGELOOFLIK DANKIE!!!!! Groete Maryke"

"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."

"We had the Blue Moon Jazz play for our wedding welcome party on August 17, 2023 in Sorrento Italy. I corresponded remotely in the USA to setup everything with Rapheal who is both very professional and very responsive to all of my emails. They were outstanding. Valentina, their singer is incredible. They played the song styles we had requested in both English and Itailian. They were very entertaining and so good that they got everyone dancing to their music. If you are looking for an excellent jazz band with an outstanding singer you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Rapheal and the Blue Moon Jazz for making our daughter’s wedding welcome party a huge success!! "
