REVIEWS
"Chris Garcia is a most uncommon percussionist... known for precise execution of difficult time signatures at blazing tempos; and he’s a hand percussionist with a deep background in Indian and Latin American music. No mere timekeeper, he always seems to elevate
whatever musical situation situation he finds himself in." PASADENA WEEKLY |
"The presence of percussionist and musical shaman Luis Perez Ixoneztli
(from Mexico) made the difference in some cases, adding color and vigor,
transforming sheer virtuosic displays into dramatic explorations of the magic
of world music. His remarkable collection of pre-Columbian winds, whistles
and percussion, his strong vocals and dramatic costuming are clearly vital
to the recording and, especially, the live performance achievements of
Strunz & Farah."
LA TIMES - LIVE CONCERT REVIEW
"Christopher Garcia is one of those musicians who always seems to be on
stage when amazing things are happening. In addition to teaching all over
the world, he's played with a jaw-dropping who's-who of musical luminaries.....
Although he's a phenomenal drummer, he may be best known as a master
of Vedic percussion techniques and, specifically, the tabla."
LONG BEACH POST
"Pérez is a master of dozens of instrumental techniques"

"Christopher Garcia, plays indigenous instruments such as turtle shells
and clay flutes ...... the East L.A. native travels the world with different ensembles "
