Precise rhythms, airy and clean vocals, and crisp authentic guitar moved our guests from seats to dancing with little encouragement. From NYC, this professional ensemble was easy to work with. A conga line spontaneously spawned, the women got up and challenged the men to a dance off, the children spun and smiled... a pleasant event with a great group of people!

Such a nice group to work with! Beautifully complex rhythms, lighter than air vocals, and precision guitar work made this group a wonderful addition to our event! Our party got up and danced with the contagious movements of the Music. Marvelous! A great background music ensemble for a dinner party or a center of attention showcase.

Anthony, Atlanta and the entire band made our Bossa Nova themed anniversary celebration absolutely wonderful. We got so lucky being introduced to them via GigSalad - and we are forever grateful for their commitment to making our day truly special. Do not hesitate to hire this extraordinary band - they give their all, commit to ever song and look absolutely stunning while performing. Thank you so much, Os Clavelitos!
