“His sophisticated, elegant way of playing drums, combined with his passion and energy, sets him apart.”
“His evolution over the years has been incredible, and his approach to the arts and the atmosphere he creates when performing are out of this world.”
“Very few musicians are able to accomplish what [Nicko] has already accomplished so quickly.”
“The first Colombian admitted to the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, the world’s most prestigious music institution — told his story.”
“Nicko Guerrero focuses his interpretation, composition and teaching as a holistic tool to build social change.”
“A fresh, multicultural and innovative proposal — involving improvisational sounds and musical elements from several parts of the world.”
“Ritual: a fusion between jazz and the Afro-Colombian heritage — a new chapter in Guerrero’s intercultural vocabulary.”
