"There is something very original and elusive in their performance this honesty and spontaneity is a wonderful thing not the least in the genre of folklore, but it became a very important part of the performance that one will not soon forget!"
~ Berlingske Times, Denmark
"For most of this exciting show, there was a strong feeling that something very special was happening on stage!"
~ South China Morning Post
"One or two curtain calls are common when you go to the theatre, but four or five is substantially above the usual encore. When it goes that far you definitely see the expression of the audience's appreciation, which speaks to the artist's success!"
~ Mitjutland Paper, Denmark
"During the two hours, I was never bored. The sounds of every drum rumbled through the hall! With resonating melodies, the elegance and tradition in every act throughout the show and the overall intensity, I was easily able to see why JIGU has become a world-renowned and respected group of percussionists and musicians!"
~ Idaho State University Bengal, Pocatello, Idaho
