CRITICAL ACCLAIM
for innovative
programming as
Music Director at
SATALLA, NYC

"An ambitious, globe-trotting booking policy"
–The New Yorker

"...the most illustrious names in world music come to play... Satalla has been one of the most talked-about venues in the city, attracting an uncategorizable mix of performers and audiences."
–Global Rhythm

"On the New York live-music scene, Satalla is not only 'world class,' it's in a class by itself."
–The New York Resident

"Satalla was a hit the moment it opened in late 2003. Intimate and innovative, Satalla does a great job of finding hidden (at least hidden from most U.S. audiences) talent from across the globe. The diversity of music that can be heard on any given night is staggering."
–Frommer's

"Satalla calls itself the 'temple of world music,' and while that sounds awfully boastful, it won't to anyone who's watched a packed Wednesday night–the crowd is as diverse as the acts onstage, and the music ranges from Argentinean jazz to Congolese Soukous music"
–Shecky's
