“Une mécanique impressionnante, une machinerie
destinée à produire une qualité d’émotion subtile et non
dépourvue d’humour”
“Un quatour de mousquetaires portugais maniant
l’accordéon comme dês horlogers suisses”
“J’imagine toujours que ces instruments, si humains par
leur respiration, se concentrent avant d’entrer en jeu”
2008 Festival de Trentels – France - festival magazine
“Danças Ocultas are very special - the interaction of these
four accordionists is amazing. Their music is as full of
tension that you did not realise how the time goes by.
It is not easy to describe their music - you simply have
to see them live…”.
2001 2nd International Folk Festival Tilburg, the Netherlands - festival magazine
“…During the one hour of the concert, the music was the
queen of the night, which covered Tejo. The accordion
tuned the voice and naked different breaths and walks
through landscapes of the country side... if we got
delighted with the music, they enjoyed it not less, in the
pleasure of designing it in the dialogs that they establish
among each other”
1998 Claúdia Galhós, in “Jornal Blitz" - Blitz
“This is a really new concept of a great concert which
demonstrates the potentialities of the Portuguese music.
It is a very good album, with beautiful music, Danças
Ocultas is surely one of the best ever conceived projects
in the Portuguese music scene.”
1996 in “O Independente” - O Independente
