CASA, Concert Review by David Traugot (USA, 23 Mar 2009)
"...Their tee shirt proclaims 'A Cappella Art', and their singing has incredible artistry. They are so fast and accurate in their pitch and timing, and so tight in their ensemble sound that even very swift and fluid dynamic changes moved like one voice on a volume knob. All of them are good lead singers with great presence, and the lead could change back and forth in a song, as well as the backup structure. Often there were two backup duets, doing contrasting patterns, and often the members of the duets would change partners every 8 bars, with different timbre and volume and character, changing instantly and effortlessly at recklessly high speed. From a singer's view, they are virtuoso on their instruments..."
