"En Canto formed three years ago and has become a familiar fixture at Columbia City's Royal Room, Capital Cider and at festivals such as Northwest Folklife. The septet specializes in forro, from Brazil's Northeast, a music that features accordion and flute and has a kind of honky-tonk bounce."
- Paul de Barros, The Seattle Times, August 5, 2014

"En Canto is one of those bands that manages to balance an exciting high-energy dance feel with that sweet and relaxed groove that is so beautiful in Brazilian music. Their performances are delightful for either dancing or listening!"
- Kelli Faryar, Northwest Folklife

"En Canto is a band with incredible energy and the ability to play the many styles of music (forró, baião, choro, samba), from Brazil. Whether you're familiar with Brazilian music or hearing it for the first time, you'll be drawn in all the same. When they perform, there is a sense of excitement in the air and intense camaraderie. Invariably, you'll find yourself getting swept away in the band's joyful enthusiasm, and, before you know it, dancing to those infectious rhythms until the very last note. They will captivate you!"
