CHRONYCLE
"Attending an Alejandro Folgarolas Concert requires, above all, be prepared for some surprises.
The principal of those surprises is the repertoire this saxophonist proposes that, in addition, insists in playing alone.
This insistence born of an thorough understanding of the many sonic possibilites that saxophone implies ".
Juan Arturo Brennan.
Festival Internacional Cervantino.
"Then I started to think that indeed Alejandro is a good composer. I remembered the day during the International Jazz Festival of Cancún in the Parque de las Palapas, that "gúerito" (blondy) who came up with only his tenor saxophone and to interpret alone one of his most beautiful compositions, EL MAR (THE SEA), the thousand attendees fell completely silent and they were carried away for that music in Yes Mayor".
Michele Moreno
La Voz del Caribe.
"El Mar (The Sea) From this piece inside out not only waves, Folgarolas took us by the hand to explore the depths, surfaces, the storms and many moods of the Sea. All with the sense of hearing guided by this extraordinaire and commited musician. The concert is over. Alejandro desappears backstage, but his music continuos to resonate in the environment".
Haidé Serrano
La Crónica de Cancún.
"...the notes gradually grow to fill everything: stage, theater, senses. After consciousness is lost, Folgarolas manages the music flow naturaly, with a místical aura".
Gabriela De Cervantes
La Crónica de Cancún.
"The extraordinary talent of Folgarolas is not only his great tecnic, but also the many diferent tones that he extrats from the instrument, sometimes soft and warm, sometimes aggressive and strident, all reflecting what feels his soul".
Rudy García
La Voz del Caribe.
"In Canto a Kukulcán Alejandro Folgarolas manages, with complete mastery he has over the instrument, to let run on the score the musical imagination that contemplates the sky with Mayan eyes drawn with an eighth note, a quarter, a whole libertarian note".
