"In addition to performing several types of Latin rhythms, Ritmos educated the audience on the origins of the different rhythms and instruments used. It was wonderful to see them interact with the audience."

"We were impressed with the quality of your performance and also how you weaved the teaching component into the performance. The students also had a chance to participate by playing instruments and clapping along with the rhythm. It was a great way to excite and captivate us all so we are even more hungry to learn more about Latin rhythm and culture."
