“Emerging like spirits of light from a mystical jungle, Floratura coalesces a web of energy into a sparkling spectrum of sound. The essence of heart-centered soul, funky global grooves, casting psychedelic jazz fusion spells. Drawing inspiration from the natural world around them, this group is propagating the seeds of connection and inspiration that provoke movement of the body and mind. Elevated musicianship is a common denominator of this five-piece unit with the mandolin playing and intoxicating vocal presence of Tatiana Peña at the center of it all.” - Tyler Blue, music critic for The Crazy Horse in Nevada City, California
