"The great magic of the
interpretations was the manner in which they maintained the subtle insistence
of familiar, guitar-based rhythms while surrounded by galvanizing overlays
of complex harmonies and a propulsive, jazz-driven swing...By the time
the final song was greeted with a standing ovation, one could only wonder
when this engaging artist will receive the widespread notice his art so
richly deserves."
- Don Heckman, LA Times 9/03

"Mr. Cantuária...has made a remarkable second American release, one
that's highly conscious of its roots in bossa nova while being an utterly
post-modern natural marvel of production and song structure."
Ben Ratliff, NY Times, 4/9/99
