What the National Press
is saying!!!
THE LIST [4 star album review]
**** “Coca Tenorio’s vibrant, serenading voice moves from celebration to yearning, through melodies Andean, Latin and South American. Grounded in undulating Afro-Latin rhythms, her songs tell stories of life and love with zingy undercurrents. The musicianship is stunning and Coca Tenorio is a real find.â€
THE SCOTSMAN [4 star album review]
**** “RECORDED in her native Ecuador and mastered in Scotland, Coca Tenorio's self-produced solo album is another very accomplished piece of work. …her versatile voice evokes her Latin-American roots with assuranceâ€
