Depositions
// It was a pleasure to listen to the songs on this release.
It seemed I was taken on a world trip through your music. From the streets of Maputo to the jazz clubs of Paris, NewYork and London, touching base in Copenhagen along the way. The music is so varied and spiritual. And all along the journey the swing is at the center. It will be a great pleasure to hold the record in my hands, listen to it at home or as a travel companion in the car. Keep the music flowing! // Ken Day – D Tours.
// I had the privilege of co-producing five of the full band tracks and I am amazed by Deodato Siquir´s talent, making a tour de world - and his life - into music.
To witness Siquir´s creative process of getting it all together in this beautiful album, full of pulse and poetry, has been a rare inspiration.
The delicate management of his own special talent - and of getting all musicians to flow and glow - makes the album a must on your playlist. // Nils Ekner
// The word “together” carried more weight a generation ago-either you had your shit together, or you didn’t. And you hadbetter have it together.
Deodato has his shit together here,with all the iconic force that the word carried in those days. Beauty, compassion, warmth, love, groove, fire, and morebeauty. Spirit. It’s all together here, and we are all togetherhere, the sources, the wells of love and inspiration whose waters flow together on this album. To me, it’s embodied inthe cover art: Deodato Siquir...TOGETHER // Ed Epstein

Reviews
" intense musical conversation between group members
(check out Linley Marthe on Harmony around the 3 minute mark) all interlaced with the tasty grooves of Deodato’s rhythm section."
Behid the Notes
"Siquir’s soft and warm vocals dominate the exchanges, but there are welcome jazz breaks in
such tracks as “Balanço”, “Grito” and “Xiluva”. Siquir is at his best when he introduces a sense
of urgency to his compositions, with “Harmony” being a particularly fine example of this."
Daniel Brown - Mondomix
