"One sunny evening on a terrace overlooking the lovely grounds of Hanbury Manor, easy jazz notes flowed melodiously out of the conservatory - Camino Sonoro were in residence, creating an ambience which added so much warmth to
the good company of friends with whom we celebrated our wedding anniversary. Our guests and family were charmed by Hetty's commanding vocals, Miguel's languid guitar and Ronan's mellow saxophone. 'Girl from Ipanema' brought smiles to many faces, 'My baby just cares for me' was delivered with casual confidence, and later on, many of us delighted in recognising Hetty's lovely rendition of 'I wanna be like you' - from The Jungle Book! It was a very special evening for us, and my family and I are thrilled that Camino Sonoro captured the mood perfectly with their unique style of swing and Latin jazz. The trio are truly relaxed, adaptable and versatile. I have no hesitation in commending Camino Sonoro to anyone seeking the perfect musical complement to their special occasion."
I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful performance last night. You sang and played beautifully, and you could see from her emotion how much it meant to Kate - especially the songs that you had so carefully prepared for her. Thank you! It was really rewarding. You were all delightful to work with! With best wishes, and I hope that I'll be able to hear Camino Sonoro again soon, Nick
Dear Camino Sonoro gorgeous band! You were absolutely marvellous at our party at home and how everyone has been raving about you since then. Everyone commented on your unique trans-generational appeal. You are loved by all! Thank you so so much!! And you allowed our daughter to improvise with you - it was marvellous. :))
Camino Sonoro - gorgeous in every way! They were so tight together and have such a wonderful fee - and they even let me sing a couple of numbers with them! So many guests commented on how fantastic they all were and how beautiful Hetty's voice is. Thank you Camino Sonoro! XXX
Love these guys. They were recommended by my daughter's singing teacher and were the icing on the cake. I loved their repertoire. Sleeky sultry smooth cool jazz played unobtrusively whilst we all basked in the sunshine. Hetty has a lovely range ably supported by Miguel on guitar and Stephanie on saxophone. I have no hesitation in recommending them.Wishing you every success !! 10/10
We hired Homerton college for a dinner venue and were lucky to have Camino Sonoro perform for our clients. From the beginning they were very professional to deal with and performed beautiful sets ideal as a background jazz music. Our guests were complimenting the group and especially Heather's singing voice. We had an international group and some of our Spanish customers loved Spanish songs. Definitely recommend! 10/10
I booked Camino Sonoro to play at a garden party for my wife’s birthday, and couldn’t have made a better choice. They played some gorgeous Latin American jazz, interspersed with swing classics, and the sound was perfect for a laid-back summer afternoon. Ronan’s smooth saxophone is an excellent foil for Hetty’s flexible but beautifully expressive vocals. Miguel holds it all together, unobtrusively and elegantly, on guitar. The three band members were lovely people to work with, and I’d confidently recommend them for social events of this kind.
