Dallas Morning News - Overnight Review
Conté de Loyo stole forward like a powerful jungle cat as singer Luis Martinez wailed, "Ay-yi-ai-yi-ah."  With every curve of her body she turned every gesture, every snaking arm and flurry of stamping feet into a wordless drama.
Maria Morca eased into view with the sultry, undulant "Zambra Mora"
Julia Alcantara and Joseph Gonzalez locked eyes like two wary animals impervious to fear.
