THE NEW YORK TIMES
Claudia La Rocco. New York (United States), 2nd April
2007
“...smoldering dancing of Ángel Muñoz,
one of the more magnificent performers I’ve seen in
recent memory. The clarity and complexity of his rhythms
dazzled, but what truly astounded were his sense of pacing,
his presence, and his ability to communicate through the
simplest gesture. With a raised, curving palm or a sharply
angled lunge, Mr. Muñoz told the audience everything
it needed to know”.
“...And then there was Mr. Muñoz, who should
come back. Soon.”

Kaija Pepper. Canada, 6th April 2007
“The dancing onstage was even more memorable, and
Requiem Flamenco again features what Pena calls "a
significant moment for the dance to speak." For this
key solo role, Pena cast his company's star dancer, Angel
Munoz, another impeccably credentialed Cordoba native. Munoz
will doubtless devour his chance to burn the floor in the
most prayerful way”.

“Now for my favorite part of the show – sorry
but I am rather prejudiced when it comes to Ángel
Muñoz & Charo Espino, who are husband and wife.
They executed an achingly exquisite Flamenco “pas
de deux”, to the point that I felt as if I was peeking
into an intimate moment between lovers. You could tell this
was much more than a working gig for this pair – it
was an expression of their deep love and regard for one
another as dancers and as life partners. Angel’s hands
caressed the air around the curves of Charo’s body,
an unseen string connected his hands to her hips (...).
Separately, they are masterful performers. Together, they
produce an intense, slow burn that FEW contemporary performers
either seek to perform or if attempting to perform, can
achieve...”
“(Angel was principal dancer for many years with Compañía
María Pages, and while touring with her, he only
got to dance a fraction of the kind of rare and traditonal
flamenco seen this night. I was absolutely sucker-punched
by his amazing grace, strength, and control!)”.

Carlos Sánchez. Jerez, February 27th 2006
“Ángel Muñoz sintetiza el baile de corte clásico con tintes
contemporáneos propios del lenguaje flamenco más actual”
“En buena compañía, así se presentó en solitario el bailaor
cordobés Ángel Muñoz. Y con un estreno, ‘Cinco sentidos’.
Espectáculo sobrio, elegante y de gran riqueza. Sin concesiones
a la galería ni adornos superfluos. Lejos del efectismo
forzado. Con baile lleno de matices y toque con sonoridad
propia, el del guitarrista Juan Manuel Cañizares”

Virgilio Liante. Albacete, España (27 de abril de 2005)
“Después del ecuador y cuando el público se sentó para seguir
viendo el espectáculo, el bailaor Ángel Muñoz se destapó
con un recital de puras esencias flamencas. Clavó el tacón
con temple e hizo de su cuerpo auténtica poesía en movimiento.
En algunos lances recordaba al gran Antonio Gades, con ese
cabello negro suelto, de potencia hercúlea en sus piernas
y el salero de unas manos bien movidas”

dancing of the Miller’s Dance from Manuel de Falla’s ‘El

drove up the temperatures of all in the house with his remarkably

BALLET.MAGAZINE
Stuart Sweeney. London, UK (February, 1999)
“The star of the show -‘Musa gitana’ de Paco Peña- is Angel
Muñoz. Quite simply, he is a fabulous dancer. He's blazingly
fast, precise, expressive and his spins would put an ice-skater
to shame. Best of all, despite his virtuosity and brilliance,
his ego does not over-balance the production”

sotto l’altare, si è esibito in uno strenatissimo flamenco”

THE SUNDAY TIMES
David Dougill. London, UK (February 16th, 1997)
“Arte y pasión introduce to us a new young star, the 22-year-old
Ángel Muñoz, who has tremendous talent. In his dancing he
is crearly the equal of Cortés, without recourse (so far)
to the latter’s extravagant psudomessianic trappings. He
is tall, slim, black-maned; striking of face, dramatic of
gesture. He knows his worth, and he has a pride of manner
to match it, But it is established in his performance rather
than announced, and then he acknowledges applause in the
most self-effacing way possible”

casual gesture, his slightest step is fluid with its spirit”

“Ángel Muñoz has all the right qualities to be a top dancer.
Muñoz has the right figure, the right technique but also
the right movements to express serious emotion”
