“Joel has a phenomenal ability to speak through his music to culturally diverse audiences by infusing his love for jazz and R&B into salsa. He plays from the heart, with such soul and dynamic intensity that he captivates the crowd every time! He is truly a unique individual – a one of a kind, multitalented musician who has truly polished his music over the years to extraordinary proportions. There’s no doubt in my mind that he’ll be one of the most influential composers of our time.

In dance, there’s nothing quite as spectacular as bearing witness to a live performance of Ana and Joel. There’s no one else quite like them. They’re infamous for getting standing ovations, by THOUSANDS at a time; they’ve been known to bring people to tears of joy with just a simple performance; they have innumerable fans around the world; and yet they are two of the most humble people I have ever met. Just when I think they can’t get any better, they blow me away, OTRA VEZ! The absolute best! A true treasure to the salsa community."
