Excerpts from Critical Sources and Audience Members

"Every time you both perform, I experience something anew...I feel the power in your performances.  That dancing of the seguiriyas was what the original dancing was like.  As you danced, I saw the first dancer of it dancing."
-Lech Lamidbar Dancer

"Your numbers were works of art!  Once again, your performances had the audience spellbound."
-Audrey Silva, California Folkdance Federation

"A simple, tempered bar on the guitar moves me and the dancer; he plays with that gush of blood and speaks a language of the heart."
-Noticias del Campo

"Como los tuyos (Roberto), los meritos de Alicia son grandes...gracias a tu talento!"
-Manolo el Sevillano

"Ella es una fenomena."
-Rosita Duran

 

"What a wonderful blend of the fields of art: music, dance, photography and architecture! AIRE gave us a superb program at El Charro Avitia."
-High Desert Council of the Arts

"Those of us attending AIRE's program at the Amargosa Opera House experienced a splendid, special performance. Each piece in this unique program was rewarding, worthwhile, and memorable"
-Noticias/Ciudades Hermanas

 

"A most enjoyable concert with the variety of dances gracefully presented by Alicia and the music of Roberto's guitar speaking to this audience.  The fullness of music from one guitar, one dancer, and the recitations of Auger and Estrada gave us a deeper appreciation of the culture of Spain."
-Cerro Coso Community Orchestra
"The combined classic elegance, depth and simplicity of an earlier flamenco age charmed the audience.  A program of understatement, Spain's mournful poetry was interpreted musically by Alicia and Roberto, forming artistic images partly new, partly familiar.  Still, the audience discovered a Spain new to most - an intimate dance and guitar, perhaps shared with special guest at a villa, in a gypsy cave, Spanish court or quiet countryside."
