From "Folk Bulletin ", May 2008, number 242
On stage La Frontera keeps all its recording promises : the accordeon
player MIranda Cortes is for sure a beautiful frontwoman which well
knows how to stay on a stage, with high professionalism, and has a great
capacity to concentrate the public's attention on her musical gifts too; the
guitarrist Michele Pucci, flamenco heartbeat, makes coming out of his
intrument the deep substance of his musical feelings; the violinist
Michele Sguotti catches the public's admiration thanks to his virtuous bow
and Francesco Clera , the percussionist, with its various and spectacular
drum-set composed by warmful ethnic sounds, is clear and creative so
as to bound together La Frontera's sound. This band is really great on
stage and it plays for sure a music of high quality.

After the second album "Mar Bianco" 2004, which had been good
agreed by the music criticism , this french-italian band confirms all previous good
impressions with the new album "Ferme tes yeux". Quality is
unchanged and the technicals capacity of the musicians are really greatful.
by Enrico Lucchesi
From "World Music Magazine", November-December, number 87
With its engaging digipack, "Ferme tes yeux" worths of being signaled to readers of WMM... The CD is outstanding, as in the acoustic journeys with a strong rhythmic preponderance, as well as in the inroads into electronic music which reminds the Ekova.
by Daniele Bergesio

by Caterina Colucci

From "Messaggero Veneto", 4/5/2005. Mediterranean lights and sound: charming performance of the quartet La Frontera.

Mar Bianco is a greatly charming CD, in which this quartet shows a natural ability to create an arranging with a strong personality, though starting from pieces of mediterranean tradition.
by Mauro Missana
