"BluChaCha best band ever!
BluChaCha was perfect for our annual Holiday Party. The music was a perfect mix of our requests for some traditional holiday music along with basic samba/latin styled music as well. They were always accommodating to all my requests. Thank you for making our party such a success!"

"The sun is shining from the first bar in this soon to be a hit song! It is the first one David Langlois ever wrote and it's about his falling in love for Africa at first sight.
When I got the track and listened to it, I thought this should be number 1 on the charts!
So i play it on my show the next morning, and I started hearing from listeners sending love messages from all over the world!
I told him how much I love the richness of the sounds and that he was a real Jamaican to which he responded " a Frenchaican".
