Reviews and Random Statements

"Wild Stuff!...Imagine the Marx Brothers as demented Yiddish musicians. Or maybe the Three Stooges in a kibbutz...Prepare to be surprised!" -Progression Magazine, Spring 2004. Full Review

"Latinly rhythmed beatnik-jazz..." -The Village Voice, 17-Mar-04

"...arty, bizarre Latin music..." -Moonshine Heather Show, WFMU, 22-Feb-04

"The Rare Bird Rumba Ranch features Allyssa Lamb and Emily Hurst, the angelic-voiced sirens that front Brooklyln's Las Rubias del Norte..." -Time Out, 18-Mar-04

"With an unusual instrumental lineup that combines a one-of-a-kind Latin drum kit with saxophones, accordion and bass; the Rare Bird Rumba Ranch has a distinctive sound that is at once ethnically reverential and keenly exploratory. Percussionist/leader Greg Stare (Chico Loco) has worked in a variety of contexts, but through it all he demonstrates a firm understanding of groove; as sole composer for the band, he blends an Afro-Cuban musical sensibility with kitschy lyrics. Bassist Taylor Bergren-Chrisman (Chico Bueno), also established in the Eastern European Judaica band Golem, works well with Stare, maintaining a strong pulse throughout." -AllAboutJazz.com, 25-Mar-04

"Oddball Latinate stylists..." -The LA Weekly, 27-Nov-02
