“…Angelo gave it his all -- energy, being and talent were fused together into one impeccable performance. When he strummed his guitar, he had such strength and impact, as though he was an automaton. His hands strummed the entire range with precision -- not a single tune out of place nor out of synchrony… His attentiveness to each note conveyed joy and oneness with his instrument. His music can be likened to the non-stop crackling and bursting of firecrackers. With speed, depth and force in frequency, the rhythms and sounds compelled us to dance. One could lose himself in the rapturous sounds of his guitar. It calms one’s heart and soothes one’s soul. Folks yelled more bravos for his soulful performance. He obliged by playing another piece.” By Prosy Abarquez-Delacruz, AJ Press The Magnificent 5th Fil-Am Jazz Festival The Asian Journal
