"WOW" - Gilles Peterson. "A group at the crossroads of genres and has a variety of influences, with some pieces being more afro-latino, others afrobeat, and others more bossa-fusion. It's a wicked mix. I find it lively, warm, and full of life and their music really is a place of musical blending." Le Sac à Son "Brazilian percussion underpins Afrobeat brass lines: it's quite hard to wind anything new on those well-worn [but classic] spindles, but SS have a darn good go." The Bell Inn 
 "It is like being on holiday." BBC RADIO BRISTOL
