HEADLINE:  BURNING RHYTHM AND RAW SPIRIT    * * * *

‘…splendid are the music ians and the dancers Charo Espino, Angel Muñoz  and Ramón Martínez. The Venezuelans offer the delicious sonorities of mandolin and cuatro, proposing flamenco that owes something to Africa in dazzling percussion effects. 
A stimulating evening, and beguiling.‘

HEADLINE:  FIERY FUSION IS KINDLED BYTHE FLAME OF GENIUS    * * * * *

‘As the show progresses through exquisite solos, ensembles and duets…the elements fuse before our very eyes and ears.
…the push-me-pull-you crossover continues through a free-spirited battle of music al wills to climax in a concussive orgy of music and dance that threatens to blow the roof off the auditorium. A fantastic night.’

‘Dance and music -making this good are rare.’   * * * *

THE TIMES, London

‘Opening with a signature guitar solo the audience was left in no doubt that they were in the presence of greatness - to say nothing of the supporting music ians or the dancers!

The balance between music and movement in Flamenco sin Fronteras must be applauded.  The draw when watching a master music ian, just as with a dancer, was spell binding.  Both elements combined in the riff throwing, footwork exchanging improvisation which drew the electric performance to a close.’

‘…it is hard to believe that there are just three dancers in Peña ' s troupe. The taut, rigorous patterning of Ramón Martínez and the flamboyance of Angel Muñoz cover the gamut of male flamenco, while Charo Espino can distil a whole dance tradition through the eloquence of her hands. As for Peña, there is surely no other guitarist with his range – a master of limpid classical lyricism who can also open up raw wounds of emotion.’
