"New Mexico's #1 Salsa band, Son Como Son, is explosive! Band leader César Bauvallet is notorious for walking around the entire proscenium a compás singing to the audience. César's humble leadership and connection with his band is so strong, he can be 150 feet away and still never miss a beat and communicate with the band as if he was inches away."
— Jesus Muñoz, Albuquerque Dance Examiner
