"His music marries north African rhythms with the purest flamenco; an intelligent and intense fusion" Miguel Jurado - El Pais

"Javier Ruibal's music is beautiful and absolutely original. He doesn't scorn arabic influences or those of modern music. The result has a strength and truly unusual authenticity. Angel Vives" - ABC

"Perhaps the most striking thing about Ruibal is the mix of exquisite and modern musicality which the singer songwriter has planted in the garden of Andalucian song" Pedro Calvo - Diario 16

"I like Ruibal and the clothes he wears. I like the shine of his bright eyes and his happiness. I like it when his bulerias take off with a bit of this and that thrown into the pot, creating something that has never before existed. Above all he gives us all a common way of understanding this job of being a singer and making songs. That's why I like to see him arrive, smiling, his white teeth bare to the sun, to take the place which suits him best, without needing to scheme or ask permission." Joan Manuel Serrat

"The best singer that Andalucia has produced in recent years. His recordings are a paragon of authenticity and risk."Xabier Rekalde - Diario 16

"He writes and sings from a place all his own, with a mix of music and popular culture that's never been done before. Ruibal inhabits a world beyond just Andalucia, and his voice knows that Andalucia was always a land perfumed by echoes from Baghdad, that knew science, and that carries the essence of a certain Mediterranean music, the casket of civilisations, apart from having both the ability and inclination to attempt the most explosive of bulerias, or a fascinating version in Arab-andalucian style of Satie's Gnossienne Number 1, accompanied by the subtlety of the Orquesta de
Tangiers." Maurilio de Miguel - El Mundo
