REVIEW

“A wonderful collection of accordion instrumentals from this trailblazer in various accompaniment configurations…A National Endowment for the Arts’ National Heritage Fellowship winner…Ayala’s accordion style opted for grace instead of power making for a more soothing sound.  Highly recommended.”
