Sonalisa Mishra Productions
"Excellent performance and great collaboration by Sonalisa. Sonalisa was well supported by Steven and the duo gave a phenomenal performance of old and new Bollywood songs and soft rock. Our guests were enthralled and thoroughly enjoyed their evening. There could not have been a better way to kick off this festive season. Look forward to Sonalisa performing again at our next get together."
Mariachi Bronco
"Fantastic! We had a lovely time listening to all of the wonderful mexican and latin music from two very talented musicians. Pedro was very easy to work with, communicative, and very kindly and gracefully worked with us to accomodate changes to the plan and location after signing the contract. Could not recommend them more!"
Traffic Jazz Live Music for Every Occasion
"Booked Eli for my 30th birthday party and he truly elevated the night. So friendly, amazing energy and unreal talent. He stayed longer than planned because the crowd was loving it. It made the night very special. 10/10 would book again - highly recommend"
AIRE Flamenco
"Flamenco Y Cuba is a must-see at FRINGE WORLD. Clicking castanets, twirling shawls, and vibrant colours bring the heart and soul of Cuba to Perth.
Flamenco dancers Valeria and Maree are captivating in their traje de flamenco. Filled with the passion and expression that is distinctly flamenco, they are foot-stomping and hand-clapping dervishes on the stage.
Hailing from Havana, guitarist Ernesto Enriquez Castillo brings the heart and soul of Cuban music to the stage with his seemingly effortless talent-his fingers performing their own graceful dance across the guitar. He is accompanied by Perth's very own percussionist, Steve Richter, who plays a myriad of eclectic instruments, from drums to boxes, bongos, and chimes. The trio is rounded off with the smooth sounds and heavy beats of the double bass.
Together, this fabulous ensemble brings the sounds and rhythms of Cuba to Perth.
Get to Aces Downstairs at His Majesty's Theatre and be captivated by the culture, music, and passion of Cuba!"
Ricardo Steyer Choro Ensemble
"Ricardo and his ensemble played at our wedding reception. So easy to communicate, plan and work with. We were so happy with their performance and made our wedding extra special! All of our guests commented on the music and that it set the perfect atmosphere for cocktail hour and during dinner. We will definitely be celebrating their part of our wedding for years to come! 10/10 recommend."
