Press Reviews Caracas Sincronica upheld the wonderful tradition of high calibre performers at the Bolivar Hall. "Guitarist Raul Abzueta contributed many of the compositions and his sophisticated sense of harmony as in El Agridulce (merengue) gave the music a languid grace. Pedro Marin on Mandolin was marvelous and his melodic inventions alngside clarinettist Alessandro Garcia was reminiscent of great brazilans Joel Nascimiento and Paulo Moura" Tim Panting Classical Guitar Vol. 18 Nº 1, September, 1999 "Caracas Sincrónica's proposal is not only about urban music, or spontaneous popular music neither rational academic. It is the sum of all their elements. It is tradition developed in front of our eyes, they are the sons of those musicians that 20 years ago worked with the purpose of revival of the serenatas and musical family gatherings.
