Trans-Cultural BLUES/R & B, Eclectic Crossover "Weird & Wonderful,in the Nu-Blues field,... strong,straightforward vocals,in the "Cleo Laine" vein. I cannot say that I have ever heard anything like this before." - Adrian Blacklee BLUES MATTERS.MAGAZINE
"Step aside Ewa Podels with your 5 octave range and make room for one of the most unique voices and remarkably captivating story tellers I have heard for a long, long time. Her feats of vocal virtuosity and musical timing expertly displayed on It Dont Smell Funny Yet will not only send chills up your spine but will, no doubt on every level, stupefy any living breathing musician. La Gringas latest celebrates the blues including simple and complex forms with an extremely eclectic twist and wildly creative arrangements beautifully executed by sensitive and obviously carefully chosen musicians. The whole package exudes wit, humor and unbridled passion. You must own this album along with whatever she has conceived in the past and whatever she wishes to put out in the future. To put it mildly, La Gringa just blew me away!" David Rozenblatt

"It took me 2 or 3 listenings before I could get into your voice-YOU SURE ARE DIFFERENT! But in the end I got to like it very much, CONGRATULATIONS-you have made a convert!" Kenny Wheeler
"... you’re an amazing singer - the high B flat to the low E flat in Round Midnight was astonishing - I could not believe what I was hearing....and your colors. The group is very together...really wonderful! Lori Laitman
"Weird & Wonderful....probably sits in the Nu-Blues field although it does have some jazz influences... strong vocals in the "Cleo Laine" vein... "wailing" vocals...a bit of everything in there!
Adrian Blacklee, BLUES MATTERS MAGAZINE (United Kingdom)
