Reviews 
“The best film I’ve ever seen about Caribbean music.”
- DAISANN MCLANE, New York Times. 
“I have covered both music and film for almost two decades, and have never been to a premiere as exciting as ‘Santo Domingo Blues’. It’s a rare case that a film screening moves a crowd to the point of frenetic applause normally reserved for rock gods and teen idols.”
- ANDRIAN KREYE, New York Correspondent for Suddeutsche Zeitung. 
“This film makes ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ look like ‘Mary Poppins’.”
- LES BLANK, Director of ‘Burden of Dreams’ and ‘The Blues According to Lightning Hopkins’. 
“I love your movie bro. I love it love it love it. I am the biggest advocate for immigrant and homeland stories being told, and you told it so beautifully, with cariño, amor y respeto.”
- DANNY HOCH, Director and Star of ‘Jails, Hospitals, Hip Hop’. 
“SDB excavates a salty lineup of pickers and crooners, most of whom kneel to (now deceased) Eladio R. Santos, unsung hero of the brillo, or shiny guitar tone, who in the movie joyfully plays a car wash-nightclub while still throwing a line to the mamis. Chock-full of digressions and sidesteps...”
- EDWARD CROUSE, The Village Voice.
