JazzThing, February/March 2021: „Perfect collaboration“

Schall, 3/2020: „Latin swing meets relaxed jazz atmosphere and fresh, funky pop appeal meets lyrically cleverly conveyed wisdom.”

Klassik erleben/Plattenladentipps 09/2020: “The album is an interplay of different jazz styles, samba and calypso echoes and builds a bridge to the wide American continent. Tellado impresses with her wide vocal range in English, Portuguese and Spanish as well as her improvised scat syllable language. Paulo Pereira’s saxophone playing reveals his extensive musical experience and attention to detail. Jazz sounds with Latin influences from the Caribbean and Brazil are the result of the two artists (…) With ‘Galego’, both artists have arrived together. An arrival in a new era, a new sound that is unique in its combination.”

Hossa, 10/2020: „Paulo Pereira’s music, which bridges the gap between various jazz styles as well as samba and calypso sounds from Portugal to the vast American continent, is a masterpiece. This is also ensured by Judith Tellado’s lyrics, which contrast the musical versatility with the broad spectrum of her singing in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Her improvised scat syllable language is also impressive.”
