El Payo, a first-rate Chicago ensemble acquitted itself quite well, offering an unmistakably contemporary approach to Flamenco. Listen past the pop-tinged melodies and sweetly accessible harmonies, and you could hear the lilt of flamenco phrasings and the surge of its dance rhythms!~Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
El Payo was featured on the ABC 7 show "Chicagoing" hosted by Bill Campbell! "El Payo is a fantastic force for positive music and dance. Nuevo Flamenco is alive and well in Chicago thanks to them. It was a sincere pleasure having them rock the studio for the taping of my program "Chicagoing with Bill Campbell" on ABC 7!" ~ Bill Campbell
