• "... It's been more than a decade since a Latin American country sponsored the party (The National Symphony Orchestra Ball), and the El Equipo Orchestra from Miami kept the dance floor full with more than 1,100 guests doing the salsa, merengue and variations thereof."

Rozanne Roberts: / The Washington Post
• "El Equipo Orchestra was a principal part of the success of the dance (The National Symphony Orchestra Ball, Washington DC) and I think it was a great opportunity for the orchestra to benefit by walking through the big door in Washington. We hope to soon have a new chance of hearing you in our city, and please do not hesitate to count on our support for any future endeavor."

The Honorable Luis Alberto Moreno,
Ambassador of Colombia in Washington, DC
• "... had more than 1,100 guests shaking and swaying to the rollicking rhythms of the Miami-based El Equipo Orchestra... Mambo, Merengue, Salsa, and Cumbia -- the latter, a Colombian specialty done with a lot of hip movement..."

Kevin Chaffee / The Washington Times
• "I knew your band because I had attended a previous performance. You listened with patience to my not always knowledgeable questions and suggestions... What makes the difference, Manolo, is that you are one of the few that, beyond the business considerations, love what they do and cannot help doing well in whatever they start... I bless the day I asked you to play at our Bar-Mitzvah.

Henry Bagdad
• "... El Equipo Orchestra puts on a first class show that includes a good variety of music. The dancers who performed on stage really added to the atmosphere of the 2000 Heart Ball in Miami..."

Anne M. Foster - Executive director of the American Heart Association - Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties
• "... Aside from being charming. Manolo Puerto and El Equipo Orchestra had to recreate the sound and feel of Cuba in its heyday for Anniversary Celebration entitled, 'Havana in the 50's'. Judging by the music, one would think that the musicians were all native-born on the island... He has the right heart... I could not have been happier at the end of the evening."
