"The spectators enjoy as much
the magic of the flamenco music as the passion of the artists.
Richard plays guitar and Marta with her authentic Spanish
temperament, with her voice and castanets, transports the public from
its micro environment to southern Spain, where songs tell stories of
passion and love" Patras

newspaper "Por
Esto!"
"Complete
success
describes Saturday night's
performance by the artistic pair Marta and Richard, from
Colombia
and Scotland respectively. As singer and guitarist, they
are professional interpreters of flamenco music. In
spite of
bad weather of winds and low temperatures, many families
enjoyed
the entertaining and varied presentation of "cante hondo",
with
an extensive
repertoire from the different regions of Spain. Constant
applause
from the public confirmed the quality
and beauty of Spanish folklore, and for many attendees it was a totally
new spectacle, given that very little of the music from the Iberian
region presented by professionals has been heard here.
Marta
and Richard provided it, with real professionalism
and emotion, winning an enthusiastic audience. The
atmosphere in the Morelos on Saturday night was excitingly flamenco, an
appreciative public ensuring that the show will be repeated soon.
Those who were not present missed an unforgettable evening."

Un éxito
total
constituyó la actuación del sábado por
la noche de
la pareja de artistas Marta y Richard,
de Colombia y Escocia respectivamente, ella cantante y él
guitarrista, intérpretes
profesionales de la música flamenca.
Pese al mal tiempo, por los vientos y descenso de
temperatura,
muchas familias disfrutaron de esa bonita y de mucho colorido
exhibición de "cante jondo", con un amplio repertorio de las
diversas
regiones de España. Los constantes
aplausos
del público confirmaron la calidad y la
belleza del folklore español, y para muchos de los
asistentes
fue totalmente nuevo el espectáculo dado que muy poco se ha
escuchado aquí la música de la
región ibérica por parte de
profesionales. Marta y Richard lo hicieron con
verdadero
profesionalismo y emoción, haciendo que el
público se
desbordara en entusiasmo en los momentos de
premiarlos. El flamenco inundó el
ambiente el
sábado en el Morelos y lo saboreó el
público, de
tal manera que el espectáculo se
repetira en breve. Las personas que no asistieron se
perdieron
una velada inolvidable.
