3 EXTRACT FROM THE PRESS "... It's a new adventure solo. It is the passion and a blank page at the service of creativity and serving the unredeemed melomanía with all of us and all of you who celebrate life... the teacher becomes constant display their prodigious harmonic constructions, its filing, your intelligence, a sui generis intelligence not too much (almost nothing) stop to think about what follows. He simply let go. The technique supports it and an overflowing imagery illuminates the steps. Hector Infanzón and miscegenation of his music know that to honor and celebrate our oldest and deepest traditions, there is as always bet on the forefront. Antonio Malacar/ La Jornada... The group from Mexico, led by the brilliant piano of Héctor Infanzón, was the surprise gig of the 94.

Héctor Infanzón is one of those exceptional individuals who take us with him into that beautiful and rarely reached realm of musical and emotional paradise."
