"The absolute highlight was the rhythmic,
magic playing which Gilson de Assis
played on a moringa (Udu drum). Using various kinds of
beats, the percussionist produced breath-taking sound
patterns on an earthen pitcher." Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Freising
"Enthusiastic applause following a
pandeiro solo by Gilson de Assis." O Público, Lisbon
"How much music such an expert can
extract even from a tambourine cannot be described as
well as the colours, nuances and expressive possibilities
of his playing cannot be put into words."
Die Rheinpfalz, Kaiserslautern
"With his various percussion instruments,
including the berimbau, Gilson de
Assis presented genuine rhythm artistry."
Rheinische Post, Neukirchen-Vluyn
"The Brazilian not only extracted
a wide range of amazing sounds from the many instruments,
such as the pandeiro, drums, pipes and other vessels;
the sensitive and attentive full-blooded musician even
included his own body into the percussion supply in several
solo performances." Saarbruecker Zeitung, Saarbruecken
