Quotes

“….because we are from various cultural backgrounds, our music seems to transcend musical boundaries merging odd meters and contemporary american grooves, with world music in a vibraphone based band.”
Christos Rafalides

"One thing is certain:  Manhattan Vibes is a supremely cool percussion-oriented band that appears to both young and mature audiences.  They are performing a style of music that is very contemporary with international influences that blend together without ever losing the element of dance and groove." – Village Voice

"Rhythmically driven and spatially exact, Manhattan Vibes reaches deep into the Latin consciousness and pulls out the perfect vibe." – All About Jazz
