“Singer/guitarist Paulinho Garcia seduces listeners with his own style,” – Howard Reich, Arts critic of the Chicago Tribune and LA Times.

“Garcia provides constant evidence of his mastery of the art of the Brazilian song. Endlessly inventive with styles. Garcia is an innovative composer with a firmly rooted tradition,” – Dave Miele of Jazz Improv Magazine, New York.

“A wonderful and affordable Italian restaurant and the best background music in the world: me, (ha.ha.ha….) you can’t beat that combination.” – Paulinho Garcia.
