Formed in the High Desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Sandera has evolved a musical style based on the tradition of the Spanish guitar. Influenced by the flamenco discipline, Sandera integrates music from around the globe; Brazilian Bossa Novas and Romantic Rhumbas come together in melodic and rhythmic complexity. Sandera explores timeless music, inspiring all those who know what it means to live, love and dance!

 "Your ensemble, Sandera, was certainly a great addition to ArtWalk 2008...everyone enjoyed your lovely music." M. Dessornes, President, Canejo Valley Art Museum Board of Trustees.

"It is rare to find a combination of creative integrity and commercial viability in an artist. Sandera has that combination." J.C. McGowan, Culture Planet, The Brazilian Sound.

"You remember this music long after you first hear it. The guitar playing is brilliant, and the rhumbas force even the most reluctant dancers onto the dance floor." D. Battaglia, Sony Media Management.

"I got so many complements about the music! I should have booked you all night!" Monica D. Newly wed.

"Magnifico! You did a fabulous job today! Thank you for the delightful performance...much appreciated by all your fans at the JCC." Harriet M.

 "My Oh My. I listened to it [the CD] over and over and it is just wonderful. And yes, I did dance all over the house!" Arleen W.
