Michael Bedin: "Hélios Fernandez has a style of his own, made of unexpected sonorities, of astonishing harmonic stalls" Djangostation published by stoche: "But the real quality of this disc, beyond the virtuosity of its performers, is certainly all these pretty themes, often simple, but always imbued with a very beautiful musicality. So much so that you sometimes find yourself humming them yourself! » Francis Couvreux (Gypsy Studies): “Helios Fernandez does not copy Django or anyone but develops a style with clean phrasing and ideas of his own
