What
mesmerising creativity,! A Tour de
Force of subtle and forceful artistry. The members of Tambuco
are chameleons on dozens of instruments. Oh, to hear these performers
in this music in actual concert!

The timpanist Ricardo Gallardo and
his three Tambuco associates are kept busy, but even in pieces
like "Xochipilli, an Imaginary Aztec Music" or the Partita for Solo
Timpani,
a sense of neatness hangs over such naturally theatrical opportunities.

On this
occasion Kronos Quartet was joined
by Mexico City percussion ensemble Tambuco. Very impressive!

With
the highest artistry, Tambuco
illustrated a thousand hyper-inventive ways to create unorthodox
sounds. They even drew pitches out of seemingly non-pitch
instruments. Don't miss the repeat tonight !
The music explored the outer
dimensions of
percussive sound, and the Cuarteto worked wonders with myriad
instruments and even the musicians' bodies (hands, wrists, fingertips,
voices). Through all these multi-soundscapes, the Mexicans' exciting
approach never sacrificed the music's aesthetic meaning to their
unmistakable technical virtuosity.

Kronos were at their best working
with
Tambuco Percussion Ensemble from Mexico City, which added a thrusting
integrity to the string quartet's music. Tambuco’s kettle drums,
marimba and other mallet instruments were used on Silvestre Revueltas'
"Sensemaya" and the encores, Margarita Lecuona's "Tabu" and Perez
Prado's "Mambo en sax" -- though the Kronos members appeared to react
with extra enthusiasm and exactness in the collaborative effort.
Tambuco gave the music backbone, aiding the festive nature of the tunes
that were already plenty perky to start.

Pero las delicias del concierto del
miércoles en el Teatro de la Ciudad tuvieron, además de
la calidad indubitable del Kronos, una parte de verdadera
delectación musical en la presentación de un agrupamiento
camerístico de primer nivel mundial: el Cuarteto Tambuco, que en
ese caso sí acertó en sus calificativos David Harrington,
líder del Kronos, al anunciarlos: ''Please welcome this
terrific and wonderful and fantastic musicians:
Tambuco". Esos sí son chidos.

Great virtuosity and theatricality
of
Tambuco. Put Ben-Dor and her enthusiasms together with players of
this caliber and Santa Barbara could really produce a world-class
festival..

Percussões vindas do
México
encantaram Culturgest
Um concerto memorável é o
mínimo que se pode dizer da actuação do quarteto
mexicano. Criatividade à solta é o que se pode dizer dos
Tambuco, que tratam os instrumentos de percussão com a dignidade
de um “Stradivarius” (foi Gallardo quem garantiu não existir
qualquer diferença entre eles). Ao virtuosismo de Tambuco,
somavam-se pequenos momentos de ironia, que viriam a culminar nessa
peça genial que é A dois, de Tim Rescala (Brasil).

Gran
impacto sensorial el que dejan los
ritmos de Tambuco, sin duda el mejor grupo de percusiones de este y
otros territorios. Su música es tan potente, tan expansiva, tan
exacta como los latidos del corazón. Hay fuerza,
intuición y conocimiento de causa en este conjunto de
percusionistas de talla internacional. Su actuación dejó
el escenario de Bellas Artes cargado de energía.
