REVIEWS:
"...its members have solid musical roots dating to the mid 1960s. Welsh-born Phil Summers has influences spanning Irish music and Latin jazz. They feature a light pop sound, yet are still grounded in this group’s unique world-fusion style where Brazilian sounds, Gaelic jigs, Spanish flamenco and French reverie meet Etta James. Whether Catherine LeBlanc sings in English, one of two French dialects, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Maori or even Gaelic, the music is solid, sultry and sometimes haunting". Sacramento News & Review

"On behalf of the Culinary Institute of America and the Worlds of Flavor team, I wanted to extend a huge thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us last week. Your performances brought such great energy and atmosphere to the event. You truly helped make the 27th annual Worlds of Flavor one of our most memorable yet. We hope you had a great experience and would love to work together again in the future." American Culinary Institute, Napa CA.

"We were looking for a band that was a sort of Salsa band, but we found something better. The combination of World Music with Latin Rhythms and some selected older ballads was a great combination for my 80th birthday party. Great for background music, listening and dancing later in the evening. One of my guests loved the "subtle Latin beat" to all of the songs". The Bash
