Cristina and the Band were a hit at our Hispanic Heritage event. Our park visitors had a great time watching Cristina sing and perform Selena's greatest hits! She is a professional singer and performer and does a beautiful job at capturing the audience's attention. The band sounded so good as well, they had smooth transitions throughout the entire event. They also played some popular Latin hits, so that was a huge plus!

Thank you so much for having us, it was a wonderful event!
So so fun! Cristina is so easy to work with - thorough, professional, friendly, prompt, kind. She made my job easier! She and her band were an absolute dream to host at our 2018 Dia de Muertos celebration. There were some weather issues (outdoor venue). Cristina was unflappable and ready to honor her commitment to us. Then, this woman gets on the stage! She's a fabulous entertainer! Great voice and infectious performance! We had more audience participation than ever in our 7 year history. We are looking forward to Cristina and her band coming back to Denison!!

Jennifer, thank you for this amazing review!
Cristina was a great headliner for our Hispanic Heritage Street Festival presented by Fiesta. She and her band rocked it and had people dancing even though it was bright and early on a Sunday. Her and her band were very focused and bringing the best experience to our fans and put on a great show!

Thank you Daniel, it was an honor to celebrate Hispanic Heritage with the Astros!
Christina was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. My husband and daughters set this up as a surprise for my 40th birthday party. They were so impressed with how she coordinated with them, all her care and enthusiasm to make sure everything went just right. I of course was completely shocked and so excited! The experience was something myself and all who were present will never forget. The authenticity and talent were of the highest quality. If I ever need, or hear of someone in need of this one of a kind experience I will not hesitate to recommend. Christina and sidekick, thank you both for putting on an incredible performance!💜💜💜 “Selena Para Siempre”

We hired the CTS Band for our wedding rehearsal dinner and they did not disappoint! Our rehearsal dinner was at Lucky Spur Ranch in Justin, Texas. They came all of the way from Houston with top notch lights, sound, and equipment. The musicians were amazing! CTS Band was truly a highlight of our wedding weekend! My wife and I along with our family and friends had an absolute blast singing and dancing! We could not have been happier with what CTS Band delivered! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Not only are Cristina and her band a pleasure to work with, they also put on a great show! This is the second year we've had her Selina Tribute show at our Waterpark and we look forward to bringing her out again next season. From the crowd engagement and great vocals, to their professional look and stage presence, you won't regret booking.

I could not have asked for a better performance! Could not have asked for a better group to come and be a part of our FIRST EVER Tejano night at our Freestone County Fair & Rodeo. Such an amazing night to witness. Cristina and the CTS Band were wonderful, kind and extremely patient and understanding bearing with us as it was our first large entertainment year. We will DEFINITLEY have them back next year!!!!

Christina and her band bring a full band blast of joy and talent. The soul of Selena's music comes across, one can tell that the band and the talented Christina Amaro love Selena, I had a blast, the concert goers had a blast. And the music was beautiful.

My wife and I recently hired Cristina and her band to play our 10 year wedding anniversary party and it was the absolute best!
The band was awesome and everyone was so great to work with, Cristina was so easy to work with and constantly keeping me up to date and making sure all accommodations were good on both ends.
If you're looking for a Selena tribute band look no further than Cristina and her band but they also threw some other music to dance to as well. Like I said, if I could give more than 5 stars I would - highly, highly recommend!

Christina was Amazing! Christina provided excellent service and excellent performance, she was punctual and organized ready to perform at the scheduled time. Definitely recommend her for your event!!

Cristina and the CTS Band were a great addition to the fan experience for the Houston Dynamo FC. After an incredible and engaging set in our pregame tailgate area, they knocked it out of the park with a high energy halftime performance in the stadium.
Cristina and her crew were very professional, easy to deal with, and were able to adapt to a few last minute changes with ease.
Overall, we had high expectations for the experience, and they exceeded them all. Days later we are still getting comments both internally and externally about the quality of the performances and the added value they had for our guests.
We look forward to working with Cristina and the CTS Band in the future!
Latin Band, Tribute Artist, Selena Impersonator
We hired this band within 7 days of our event and from the very first communication, we could tell they were a professional, inspiring and truly talented group. They were on time. No games on the pricing. Equipment ready to go. Attire appropriate. Friendly and down to earth. And totally rocked the house. Our employees can be shy at work, but not with this band on the music, they danced and had so much fun. I’m so grateful for the impact they had on us today. Thank you CTS band. Can’t wait to work with you again.

CTS Band featuring Cristina Amaro is one of the absolute BEST Selena Tribute shows I have ever had the opportunity to both see and work with. I am a partner in the company TSE Entertainment, a music booking agency. We are the talent buyers for the City of Baytown. We were honored to have CTS Band play at this year's GRITO Pre-Party show 10-1-21 as the direct support for Ram Herrera. Cristina blew the crowd away with her ability to bring the Queen of Tejano to life! CTS Band is an absolute must to book for your next event!

Cristina is so charismatic and talented, followed her work for a couple of years and with all certainty I can say she is the best impersonator for our Queen of Tejano.

We thoroughly enjoyed having Cristina at our Thursday evening concert series in Conroe, TX. The crowd loved it also and was dancing all night. This was our first time having Cristina at our series and hopefully will not be the last. Great show!

We met Cristina two years ago at a Cinco de Mayo celebration hosted by Taco Cabana. My wife is a big Selena fan and loves live music. Due to the pandemic, we weren’t able to have the big blowout party she had been hoping for. I contacted Cristina and thank goodness she was available at the last minute. We set up on our front porch with social distancing caution tape around her “stage” and invited several friends to park their cars in our huge front yard.
Thanks to Cristina and my wife’s dear friends, my wife couldn’t stop crying tears of joy about her wonderful surprise. We had an amazing evening and Cristina was a MAJOR part of it. When we are able to have a big party in a hall and with a proper stage, Ms Cristina will definitely be invited to perform, again. Thank you so much for helping me make my wife’s special day, EXTRA special.

Cristina and her band are AMAZING! I am so impressed with their punctuality, professionalism, communication, and desire to assist in any way they were able to create a successful event!
The show itself is out of this world! The dance floor was filled with guests before dinner was even served! And our guests stayed past the final song! They wanted more! Many guests want Cristina to come back every year! She was/is such a HUGE HIT, and I am so incredibly grateful she performed for us! Truly I cannot say enough wonderful and positive things about her! Her crew is an absolute delight! Thank you, thank you, thank you! She is phenomenal!

Cristina was wonderful! She entertained guests at our company party and everyone loved the show and kept talking about it the day after. Cristina was very professional and arrived early to set up so that she would start on time. She was a great performer!

The experience with Cristina Amaro and her band is one that left an impression on our small Texas town. We initially contacted her 6 months prior and not once did she skip a beat.
Our crowd was in high anticipation for her and once the emcee did her introduction the crowd flocked to center stage! Cristina’s bedside manner after the show was impeccable, and not once did she lose her smile. We can’t wait for the return of the Cristina Amaro “Tribute to Selena” Show!

Response from Selena Tribute, Latin Band, Singer:
Muchisimas Gracias! Bidi Bidi Yay!
This was a great show from start to finish. We marketed it hard on our side as well and had a packed house the whole night. The band was professional and polite and I had the personal pleasure of working with Cristina to get everything booked. 1st class act from start to finish. They did an excellent job in getting the crowd into it and it wasn't long that they had the dace floor busy. Several guests had their phones out throughout the event taking video for the extra added marketing for both of us. Cant wait to book her and the band again!

I found Cristina online at the last minute to help me with my 60th Birthday Party and Celebration for my mothers memorial scholarship fund I had set up 15 years ago at Long Beach City College to benefit anyone from the Carmelitos Housing Projects attending Long Beach City College. I found Cristina who does the Selena Tribute and it was a perfect match for me and my party of friends and family. I had no idea how good she was and read her reviews and where she had performed and felt blessed to have her. Cristina was a hit and is passionate about her singing and performance. I will recommend her and use her again. HEB who is giving out the Selena bags in December better sign her up quickly to entertain the log lines! Anna Maria Barba-Poindexter

Christina Amaro played in the Piney Woods Fine Arts Association's Summer Lightnin' Concert Series last summer in Crockett, TX Her show was the most well-attended out of all the shows in the series! She was absolutely wonderful to work with and her show was phenomenal. She stayed after and took pictures with everyone in the crowd. Crockett has a large Hispanic population that is under-served by the arts and they really showed up for her concert. She sounds & looks fantastic! I would highly recommend her show to anyone that presents tribute artists cause she really delivers!

One of the best entertainment options in Texas. She is not only professional, but energetic. Crowd was excited and engaged by her performance. It was a graduation party no one will forget. I will pay it forward and recommend her to anyone looking for entertainment. Thank you again. It made my daughters day special. JR

Cristina is a true performer in every sense. Professional, punctual, curtious and very talented. She continued to get my guest involved with dancing and singing throughout her performance at my mothers birthday party. I received many compliments on her performance during the night. She made my event unforgettable. My mother, who is a huge Selena fan, is complimenting her performance days after. A wise investment!

Jennifer, thank you so much for this amazing review!
First of all, Cristina is very professional and easy to communicate with. She responds promptly (and is usually waiting on my response) and before I even met her I could tell she had a great personality.
I booked her for a Selena tribute show at a restaurant I do marketing for and the show she and her keyboardist put on exceeded mine, and all of my team's expectations. She is such a great vocalist, and truly puts on a show! She interacts with the crowd, gets people up and dancing and really just turns the place into a fiesta. 100000% impressed with her and will be booking her many more times!

Cristina is a very bubbly, delightful, enthusiastic person to work with. She performed her Selena tribute show at Latin Fest for the Houston Rockets. She was very energetic throughout the performance and kept the audience engaged. Her outfits were on point, but my favorite was definitely the purple rodeo outfit! It was a hit! Thank you for your great energy at our Latin Fest!! Definitely would recommend for any event.
