“Thank you for bringing such a great sound and energy to our event. Rave reviews from the audience!”

- Kathryn Blake, Event coordinator PHOENIX ART MUSEUM

“The Musical Instrument Museum worked with Bata Ire during our grand opening celebration weekend. We contracted with the ensemble to provide live music for our guests during the first two days our doors were open. We found the group to be very professional and easy to work with. Their high caliber of musicianship added a lot to our opening and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The genre of music they perform, Afro-Cuban, fits perfectly with our mission to share the music and musical instruments of the world with the people that visit MIM. We look forward to working with Bata Ire again for events and educational programs.”

- Sara Weber, Event and education Coordinator, MUSIC INSTRUMENT MUSEUM

“BATA IRE is easily one of the very best groups we’ve worked with at Desert Botanical Garden.  They are easy to work with, professional and prompt, and most importantly, are amazing performers! The energy and sound they brought was perfect and our audience left excited about their experience!”

- Katy Spratt, Event Manager, DESERT BOTANICAL GARDEN

“You all had the best turnout and energy of any band we’ve had on our concert series! We look forward to having you back.
