"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." |

"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!" "Ella es
una fenomena."

"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"

"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." -Lita Reid, Daily Independent |
