‘Quintero’s skin-work is wonderfully supple and inventive (and) demonstrates the continuing vitality and relevance of musical attitudes that could have evolved nowhere but New York’, says The Telegraph. Because even though Luis Quintero comes from Venezuela, he developed his style in the US where he worked with a.o. Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Gloria Estefan and George Benson. Latin rhythms drenched with Afro beat, bossa nova and funk.
