Mistershed
"Mistershed really brought the vibe to our party! Totally recommend."
Bongobeatselite
"We had an 18th birthday garden party for my daughter and Tim brought the Ibiza sunset vibes with his amazing bongo set! The beat was infectious, everyone was up dancing, and it honestly felt like we’d been transported to Ibiza. He completely elevated the atmosphere, we highly recommend Tim for your event! Daria"
High-energy Bongo Experience
"Krisztian is an outstanding percussionist.
He knows when to add and when to hold back. He lives in the music and respects the song. He's good at getting the crowd going and inviting the listener. What I love about him is his creativity and how he isn't afraid to try new things and mix them up. He has his own style. And most importantly, he's reliable. A 10-star scale isn't big enough for this man."
Ilusion Flamenca
"I organised a charity event and hired Ilusion Flamenca band to entertain in the evening. They made my event come to life, they got the crowd moving and nobody wanted the party to end. I loved their attire and especially the female dancer she looked amazing with the frills and flowers. Highly recommend."
Buena Vista Social Club, latin music
"Ebullient Vocal Javier Camilo"
Eternal Triangle
"I met Trevor Watts and his Eternal Triangle band for the first time in 2022 at Cafè Oto in London.
It was a fantastic concert, I really enjoyed everything from the band. The percussionist Jamie Harris provided a strong and vigorous accompaniment with his bongos and cymbals, keyboardist Veryan Weston added his immaginific sounds to the ensemble and Trevor Watts stood out for his inventiveness, freshness of phrasing and audience involvement.
It was a joy to meet the band members after the show and remain in contact with them over time. We were able to put together a first Italian tour in February 2025 and we're looking forward for new shared adventures.
The great musicality of this projects makes it enjoyable from any kind of audience, from people not familiar with creative music to fine jazz connaisseurs.
Trevor Watts is undoubtedly one of the main protagonist of European jazz and the work he has done with this band is simply amazing and worth to be discovered.
Very recommended (especially when they are on tour!)"
