What the critics say about Gema Corredera:

-"master vocalist" – Latin Jazz Network

"...a quietly confident and prodigious musical talent. Her velvety voice has some of the burnished golden tones of a trumpet or saxophone, but can also take on a poignant, silvery harmonic sharpness. She sings with supple, beautifully defined rhythm..." – The Miami Herald
