We recently hired the Martin Metzger Flamenco Ensemble and truly were blown away by the experience from start to finish! Martin, as a leader, was timely in his responses and extremely fair in pricing for the talent of the ensemble. Speaking of, Vanesa, Patricia and Hugo were absolutely outstanding in every sense of the word. Not only were they extremely talented & entertaining, but also consummate professionals. They arrived on time, had an easy set-up/costume change, started right on time, and engaged our in-person and virtual audience members. Vanesa's dancing was spectacular and had us all believing we too could tell a story through our movements and her finger cymbals and shawl additions kept the audience on the edge of their seats waiting to see what was next. Patricia could basically sing us the phonebook and we'd be entranced. Her version of "Besame Mucho" was obviously a crowd favorite and the note she held at the end...WOW! Listening to Hugo had us relaxed one minute wishing we were sipping on Sangria and toe tapping next wanting to book flights to Spain immediately. He made it look so easy, but when watching his fingers you could tell the immense level of talent he brought to the ensemble. They even shared a little bit about the art of flamenco and had the audience clapping along and shouting, "Ole!"
It was an amazing gift to give to our employees to help celebrate LatinX Heritage Month and we undoubtedly will have them back again and again! Gracias!
Response from The Martin Metzger Flamenco Ensemble:
Courtney, this is honestly one of the best reviews we have received, and we are so deeply grateful for you; for your kind words, and for the opportunity to bring our talent to your wonderful event! I have shared this with my musicians and they are overjoyed! It's patrons like you that help artists like us continue our work to heal and inspire others. We are so deeply grateful to be connected to such a wonderful soul! All best and see you soon! Martin
