September 1996

Press review from: Q Magazine (UK)

..the ambience...gives the record a feeling of reality, seeming to bring the warmth and passion of the island right into your own home. This singing is everything I had hoped for, but never quite found, on previous records.

Press review from: Folk Roots (UK)

The startling quality of this recording obviously owes much to its peripatetic origins, capturing the Tenores singing in various locations....Numerous types of tunes from lullabies to dances...are part of this stunning repertoire...A rare group.
