Media > ReviewsWe loved VamoLa! The audience went wild for you all. Thanks so much!David Koch Director, PONCHO Gala 2007 President, Hunter Koch Productions Seattle, WA Back by popular demand, VamoLá returned for the second annual Mardi Gras Gala at the Columbia Tower Club. As soon as VamoLá launched the pulsating samba rhythms and the dancers started stepping, the ballroom was transformed into a sea of dance, color, and over 60 minutes of high-energy, uplifting experience. So many guests were dancing to the beat that the floor beams were shaking! In a nutshell-VamoLá rocked the house! Nicholas Blenkush Co-Director, Mardi Gras Gala Seattle, Washington When we were planning this year's Tacoma Art Museum fundraiser, we chose Carnival as our theme. That was the easy part. The hard part was finding something to make it authentic-until we found VamoLá. VamoLá's processional parade and floor show set the tone for our evening. As the group paraded around and past the guests and the art exhibit, the Brazilian rhythms made people realize that Carnival had arrived! As our committee debriefed the event the next morning, I had numerous comments that VamoLá "made the evening," "created the perfect start to the event," and "got me ready to get up and dance!" Thanks to VamoLá, our event was a rousing, and festive, success. Peter M. Jones Activities and Fundraising Council, Tacoma Art Museum Tacoma, Washington Thank you all for the energy, talent, and just plain fun that you brought to the eight parades you performed at Bumbershoot this year. Every parade felt like a party, due to the energy VamoLá extended and inspired in the audience! Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with you again. Shauna Frazier Special Projects Director, Bumbershoot Festival Seattle, Washington I am so glad I hired VamoLá for my friend's surprise 40th birthday party. The musicians and dancers were the hit of the party! Everyone is still talking about how great they were. They brought so much life and excitement to our gathering that it was impossible not to have a good time. Their obvious passion for music and dance got everyone up and dancing. Bruce Comer Seattle, Washington VamoLá was great to work with for Trolloween. I knew things were starting out well when, with thundering rhythms, the dancers and drummers burst through the crowd. It was a stunning moment! Each dancer and musician looked wild and strong. My fabulous thanks to VamoLá for making Trolloween such a great outdoor celebration. Maque DaVis Fremont Arts Council Seattle, Washington Thanks for coming out and playing samba at the Sounders playoff game last weekend. VamoLá provided a great atmosphere! We certainly appreciated it! Bart Wiley Seattle Sounders Soccer Team Seattle, Washington My wife and daughter, both from Colombia, and I try not to miss any of your performances. BrasilFest and Bumbershoot were great! We went to Bumbershoot just to see and hear you! Thank you for the energy of the music. Tom Thompson Seattle, Washington I attended the World Rhythm Festival for the first time this year, and I was so impressed with your performers. VamoLá added that extra dimension with the terrific red costumes, beginning with a parade across the dance floor with those amazing rhythms, and then the stage show. I couldn't keep myself from dancing! I'm looking forward to seeing you again and dancing to Macumba! Grace Seidel Seattle, Washington Photos on header of page by Will Austin. |
