August 29, 2022Eco del Sur was a superb addition to our informal family reunion. If you want punctual classy music in Spanish English and Portuguese, this is the group you want to add that chillin jazzy summer vibe. Jorge was friendly, understanding and willing to accommodate the needs of the event. The female singer has a buttery voice with an exquisite grace as she sings. They can be formal and informal depending on your event. All of our guests were quite pleased. Good luck! The photo is of them playing at our event 8/27/22 Cream Ridge, NJ. Too bad it does not capture their gifted sound. Look them up on Youtube!

May 19, 2015Eco Del Sur was literally a dream come true for our wedding day. They were easy to work with, responsive, professional, and on top of all this, made our wedding day unforgettable with their fantastic music. My husband and I were looking for a traditional Andean group, and Eco del Sur could not have been more perfect for what we had in mind. We had an intimate beach ceremony with about 30 people, and every single one of our guests commented on how they loved the music. Can't wait to hear them again !!! Jorge, you guys are the BEST !!!! Mil gracias.

October 4, 2013Eco del Sur performed for 125 people at Elizabeth Public Library. They were gracious, talented, and shared information about culture as well as the instruments and sound that make the unique Andean music. Very educational as well as a pleasure to hear.
