"Congratulations 'Edgardo & Candela,' winners of the 'GrIndie Award' given by Radio Indy, one of the largest Internet radio stations and music digital distribution companies. The 'GrIndie Award' is given in recognition of quality and excellence in overall CD production, based on audience response."
–Radio Indy
“Tatuajes del Alma" is another gem in the crown and legacy Edgardo has forged in the San Fransisco Bay Area and clearly demonstrates the love and experience that shaped it.”
–John Santos (Band Leader, Percussionist, Composer, Educator)
“ Watching ‘Candela’ play, two words immediately come to mind: Conguero and Sonero (singer-improviser). Edgardo leads his Salsa Band from the Conga drums... while singing lead vocals! Now... that’s a show by itself!"
–Rebeca Mauleón Santana (SF JAZZ)
“With their NEW acclaimed production 'Celebrando 20 Años,' Edgardo’s cast of young and veteran lions always deliver!”
–Jesse “Chuy” Varela (KCSM Jazz Station Program Director, Latin Beat Magazine)
