    Here's what people had to say about past ¡Globalquerque! Festivals:

    "¡Globalquerque! was the coolest world music event I've been to in the last decade. Highly recommended."
    -Christy Williams Dutton, Program Director, KZMU-Moab, Utah

    "I wish I could shake your hand and say 'thank you' face to face for the incredible feat that was accomplished this past weekend. I can’t wait for the next one"
    - Steve Herrera, Director: Music & Liturgy, Aquinas Newman Center/UNM

    "You guys rock! Thank you again!"
    - Camilo Lara, MIS, Festival Artist

    "A Big Congrats for putting on a wonderful festival! The lineup was great, everything ran smoothly, and the sunbaked, stately grounds of the National Hispanic Cultural Center proves a truly welcoming environment. It was a great pleasure to be part of it."
    - Jonathan Bernard, Orchid Ensemble, Festival Artist

    "Last night was one of the best musical experiences I have ever encountered in my life..."
    —Michael A. Festival Attendee

    "Thanks again for an AMAZING weekend. I have been to many global music events, including a handful of WOMAD festivals, and ¡Globalquerque! ranks among the best. Awesome venue, world-class artists, friendly vibe... it was outstanding. I hope you're truly proud of the accomplishment of pulling it all together... get some rest and smile when you think about all of the wonderful people you brought together for that magical weekend!"
    —Matt Moon, KXCI-FM (Tucson, AZ)

    "Thank you so much for the honor of being a part of ¡Globalquerque! I'm still on cloud nine from the experience. I'm telling everyone I know and don't know about the festival, we will not miss it next year!!! Everyone was very kind, helpful and relaxed, it really made our time there so enjoyable. I'll have to say it was one of the best music festivals I've been to. .. all the best to you and staff"
    —Shelley Morningsong, Festival Artist

    "The band had a great time, and the festival exceeded all our (high) expectations. I just wanted to let you know what a fine job everyone involved did, and how grateful we were to interact with such a competent, professional group.—
    —Peter Costello, Production Manager, Global Drum Project

    "¡Globalquerque! is one of the best events we have in ABQ. I was so impressed by the set-up and by the caliber of talent there. I have never been to a world music festival before and now I am hooked. Congratulations to Neal and Tom for a fabulous event!"
    —Shamaine Giannini, Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau

    "I just wanted to reiterate in writing my delight in being able to participate in ¡Globalquerque! '07! The spirited performances and workshops and general sharing made this perhaps the best festival I have attended in 30 years of touring!!"
    —Kevin Locke,, Festival Artist

    "Everyone I was with and everyone I met was enthralled by the selection of music that could be savored in just one evening, let alone over the whole festival. As with last year, the headline act was great. But the really remarkable treats were music I would never normally think of listening to, and would therefore have denied myself great beauty and joy. Such as Yungchen [Lhamo] and Ilgi. I feel blessed to have seen and heard them—and embarrassed to admit that I—along with many millions of others, I suspect—never knew that Latvians were known as the Singing People. Thank you for bringing us these aural and visual treats. I'm already looking forward to next year."
    —Charles, Festival Attendee

    "It was truly a pleasure working with you. Your good will and true love of the arts permeated the festival and was felt by all. I can't tell you how much happiness it brought to Puerto Plata and Lankandia to feel so honored and appreciated."
    —Benjamin de Menil,iASO Records (New York, NY)

    "Thank you! We enjoyed the party and the excuse to get outta dodge for the weekend! Beautiful facilities there. I wish Boulder had a theater like the Journal Theater! And seeing Yungchen [Lhamo] and Hassan [Hakmoun] together was quite a treat."
    —Elaine Erb, KGNU-FM (Boulder, CO)

    "Congratulations on a job well done! Cheri and I had a great time Friday and Saturday and Cheri has already marked her calendar for next year's ¡Globalquerque! I've only heard positive feedback from everyone I've talked to who attended."
    —George K, Festival Attendee

    "The first time we went to New Mexico to perform was on 2005 to participate at the Globalquerque music festival. There we met wonderful people and shared the stage with amazing musicians of all origins. We went to perform again at the Globalquerque 2007 festival, sharing the night with other great artists and seeing friends... the concert was incredible, from the first song I felt as if I knew everybody at the audience, it is hard to explain how you feel singing with such as beautiful energy coming from outside the stage. it was truly, a magical evening and I can not wait to go back very soon!"
    —Marta Gomez, Festival Artist

    "It is so enlightening to be exposed to new and different music. Every performance was a gem but I was especially taken by Yungchen Lhamo, beautiful voice and presence who was able to instill a sense of peace in a large gathering of people, and Fiamma Fumana, a group that had energy to spare and engaged the audience with their music. These two performers were unknown to me but now are on my list of favorites."
    —Phil M, Festival Attendee

    "There was not a dull moment during the two days. I can't wait to see who gets invited next year. I realized Albuquerque has the best dancers in North America."
    —Ricardo, Festival Attendee
