'...Behar delivered the songs, which in Spanish must have revolved around love, longing and exile, freedom and death, etcetera, without weeping all over the place. We got the poignancy without the puddles. Her voice was clear, comfortable and solid ; always in range without any sense of strain..' Stephen Malagodi

‘..Susana’s music can be
classified as folk art music… her sultry voice and style are a perfect foil for
these spellbinding songs, some of which evoke a Portuguese Fado mood. Since I
could not follow the words of the songs, the music came across as exotic and a
bit mysterious…’ Manny Meland, MiamiARTzine.com..’
’Susana’s background puts her in the position of
performing this music as ‘one of the folk’, with an incredible voice and
artistic spirit. One can hear the origins of the flamenco sound, combining with
Middle Eastern and North African influences. This is truly a diverse musical
language, as diverse as the wanderings of the Sephardic Jews.. Susana Behar
sets the standard for the performance of this material…’ Steve Rosenberg, Chair
Music Department – College of Charleston.

professionalism comes through in every performance. In Susana’s emotional and
melodic voice it reaches unprecedented artistic beauty…’ Mayte de la Torre,
