“They were excellent. We´re lucky to have such a trio in our state.” -The Hartford Advocate

“…Un programa que incluyó un gran concierto del grupo Surcari, con una fascinante mezcla de ritmos de los Andes y el Caribe.”  -Identidad Latina

“En sus presentaciones el grupo que en un breve periodo de tiempo ha establecido su reconocido prestigio, se aprecia la diversidad y habilidad de los chilenos que son capaces de transportar a la audiencia a las alturas del Altiplano, descender a las regiones musicales del Paraguay, Chile y Ecuador, y con Lorena traer al espectador a la música del caribe impregnada del sonido de África y del arte jíbaro.” –La Voz Hispana

 “The younger children had a great time dancing to the swinging rhythms of Trio Surcari. The rhythms of this incredible band helped to lift everyone’s spirits and brighten the day!” – Adoption Resource Center of Connecticut

“This show rocked, it really did. The music just never stopped and as I sat in the back of the room watching, I was impressed with how intent these kids were on the music and the performers (Surcari) - they clapped, moved around on their bottoms or rocked back and forth in place.”-Hartford Courant

“New Artists Surcari-Music of South America brought the house, (chapel really), down!  The guitars, pan pipes, flutes, rain sticks and other instruments created a sound that truly engaged the audience in moving to the music and tapping their feet.  Children were dancing to the beat and adults were mesmerized by the enchanting sounds.  Everyone gave them a standing ovation!!” - ARTSPLASH! Young Audiences Arts for Learning Connecticut Newsletter
