"The big band grabbed the audience from the outset, moving hearts - and, more importantly, feet - throughout the night. Layers of vocals, bongos, snares, brass and bass filled Webster Hall with joy. There was a lot of dancing and smiling, to say the least."
- Bob Boilen, NPR Music
“Multiple styles of Colombian cumbia - porro with wooden flutes, brassy, big-band cumbia - have been happily transplanted to New York by La Cumbiamba eNeYé.”
- Jon Pareles, The New York Times
"The ensemble's artistry and verve energized the inauguration of this year's Latin American and Caribbean programming at Princeton, and set a new standard for PLAS cultural events."
- Deborah Yashar, Director, Program in Latin American Studies, Princeton University
"The players in La Cumbiamba eNeYé are from Colombia, but the band's martini-glass eye view of traditional Colombian music proves that it has made peace with settling in Gotham."
-TimeOut New York
"Originally from Colombia but now based in New York, La Cumbiamba eNeYe cooked up a dance party at Webster Hall in New York City on Jan. 10. The fusion of Colombian sounds made for a festive atmosphere from the moment the band took the stage."
- Bob Boilen, NPR Music
"At GlobalFEST 2010, held Jan. 10 at New York's Webster Hall, the big band grabbed the audience from the outset, moving hearts — and, more importantly, feet — throughout the night. Layers of vocals, bongos, snares, brass and bass filled Webster Hall with joy. There was a lot of dancing and smiling, to say the least."
- Bob Boilen, NPR Music
