"OBA TRAIN" (2007)
"Some have called Terrakota the African version of Mano Negra, thanks to the driving vitality they display on stage.
The overall impression, then, is of a group with a thirst to mix in all their musical roots, allied with a profound respect for the complexity of their styles. Led by the effervescent voice of Anauel and the prolific percussions Terrakota blends together, Portugal can have confidence in the ribald talents of these multi-cultivated ambassadors."
Mondomix 2007
"Each new release finds the group drawing an everwidening palette of influences and also combining these influences with greater ease and confidence. If the first album sounded like someone spinning a radio dial from station to station, the lates gels together as though it is one radio station: a crazy, culture and genre blending channel called radio Terrakota"

"WORLD MASSALA" (2010)
"The Portuguese band called Terrakota did not rely upon set ingredients to cook up their World Massala album. And not for one moment should you assume that the taste one track leaves in your mouth is going to be the same as the next.
Far from coming across as simply a party band jumping haphazardly from one style to another, Terrakota has the chops and the smarts to really know what they’re singing and playing in addition to the good sense to include songs like the township-ish “Ualelepo” and lulling “Ne Djarabi” that are not as readily classifiable. Lead singer Romi can be as sprightly, serious or sensual as the music demands, and the multi-instrumental skills of her mates are crisp and accomplished without ever sounding flashy or indulgent.
There’s world music, and then there are true world music bands; count Terrakota as the real deal, and if a set of grooves that are both celebratory and engaging is an appealing prospect, get this disc."
