    * "That Fantasia played in my head for days after our house recital. An experience that I have never had after hearing a completely new composition for the first time. Berto Boyd is a vessel for a higher musical power. There is genius that pours in all the sudden from the air when he plays, it is the definition of having "Duende". We look forward to having him as an annual guest and are very much looking forward to the new album. Hurry up and finish it please before I forget the theme from the Fantasia! Bravo!!"... Sergio Beltran-Davidoff - Pheonix Arizona

    * "Roberto has something that you don't come across very often. Blinding musicality and depth that never loses its weight even in the most delicate parts. He takes you on a musical journey that elevates your mind into a huge cloud, but keeps your heart rooted to the base of his compositional mountain. Our guests have not stopped talking about that evening. It was a major success! Thank you for sharing your gift and your inspirational stories behind the compositions!" ...

    * "Southern California's rising star in Flamenco"... Thea Lignos - Your Wedding Day Magazine

    *  "Our congregation was held in sweet sonic captivity while Berto took his time to show us the depths and complexity of his musical emotions. His musical interpretation of my sermon was analogous to the message in itself. Never have I heard a guitarist communicate a message like he did. It was truly miraculous. Thank you again Berto, and may grace always be with you!" ... Pastor James Caldwell - Grace Lutheran Church, NM  

    * "The evocative sound of Boyd's guitar transported the audience to the mountains of Southern Spain"...Felicia Tomasko - The Santa Barbara Independent

    * "Berto is one of the most exciting artists in Spanish Classical/Flamenco Style Guitar playing around today.  He is an amazing teacher filled with patience and understanding.  His original compositions for guitar and beautifully-styled rearrangements of traditional pieces leave the listener's heart warm and the ears yearning for more. It is an honor and a pleasure as a former guitar student myself, to be in the presence and/or audience of this highly sought-after musical genius. I can only hope to have some of Maestro Berto's talent passed on to me!"... Elizabeth Cannon, Musician and former guitar student, VC College, Ventura, CA

Reynolds,  Professor Arabic Language & Lit., Dept. of Religious Studies, UCSB.
