WORLDWIDE PRESS

"Beyond the external aspects of power, virtuosity or any other
relative term of comparison, there was something unique coming
across, akin to a religious experience, through his beats and
rhythms. I think Christopher is definitely on the path of
connecting the objects he strikes or shakes with the deeper
currents of the soul. That's what I felt when he played; he's not
only resuscitating old instruments, he's on a different search."
COMPOSER PAUL DESENNE

"While he has devoted much of his life to learning indigenous music
Garcia also revels in playing the new and unexpected…..his musical
vocabulary not only spans centuries and cultures it's also
spontaneous."
DEUTSCHE WELLE
GERMANYS INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTER

"Christopher Garcia is frequently invited as a featured soloist
with symphony and chamber orchestras in Europe and the America's
to play instruments that are rarely associated with music of the
European tradition......"
TIEMPO LIBRE MAGAZINE
ARTE Y CULTURA EN MEXICO

"Percussionist Chris Garcia nearly stole the show…sending chipped
bits of his mallets flying into the air, and even using his body
as a percussion instrument."
SAN FRANCISCO CLASSICAL VOICE

"Chris Garcia is a multifaceted master musician that has the
unique gift of becoming one with the instruments he is playing
thus sharing the vibrations with those present."
JERRY TELLO
NATIONAL COMPADRES NETWORK

“Garcia’s music resonates organically, and never seems contrived
or slapped together as he draws from the rich color of sounds at
his disposal, and where and how he chooses to place the silences
within and around his compositions and performances.”
LATINOLA.com

"at one point Garcia removed the gourd resonator from a water drum,
scooped water into it and poured it back into the base -- water
into water……The tacit acknowledgment of eternal cycles marked one
more reason why we sat so quietly, hearing and feeling things
words can't express.”
METALJAZZ.com

"unusual instrumentation does not necessarily mean compelling
music, and while some musicians "throw instruments together" for
the sake of trying to be different, the music this gentleman
creates is organic, while at the same time being virtuosic, and
compelling on many different levels...."
