““I would highly recommend Ricardo for any business. He is dedicated to his band and to the audience he performs for. His voice is total perfection as he brings everybody on their feet to dance to the rhythm of Salsa, cumbia and the Cha Cha. When he sings you feel like you are in Puerto Rico. He also has an amazing outgoing personality and treats everybody with respect and kind words. He is full of energy and life and he is an awesome person to be around!””

— Kathy Kirk, Linkedin

“Lo he visto cantar en muchas ocasiones y además de tener la voz que tiene, tiene una capacidad interpretativa que muchos cantantes de renombre reconocerían como sobresaliente. Además es un gran ser humano y buen amigo. Espero que Ricardo tenga ésta oportunidad. Sólo así podrían confirmar y desarrollar este talento que no podemos desperdiciar. ”

— Luz Rosa-Dávila , El Progreso

"They bring a good crowd" said Ali Sama owner of Carmen's Cuban Cafe. When Tropic Orchestra plays, the crowd responds to the warmth and enthusiasm of the band. When the musicians start dancing and singing, the crowd does the same.

"Vivo en San juan, PR. conozco a Ricardo y en el poco tiempo que lo conozco se que es una gran persona, con un talento y voz inmenso. El es muy conocido en todas partes de la isla y siempre amable y respetuoso con la gente.Yo he tenido el privilegio de ir a una audicion con el, y eso fue muy impresionante: El canto como si fuera en un concierto, me quede muda de tan bello que canta. Ricardo tiene el talento y alma de ser un cantante maravilloso. Ha sido un placer,conocer a Ricardo Diquez, "El hombre de la hora".

— Tabitha M. Diaz, San Juan Star

"I saw you yesterday during la Fiesta del Pueblo, and as I said to Mr. "Ricardo TNT" after the concert, I think you guys are the Bomb! I've heard a lot of local groups of Latin musicians in our area, and of them all, I enjoyed the sound and the energy of Tropic Orchestra the most"

— Mark Hertzog, Salsero

“Solo puedo decir que es un Excelente interprete, quien desde pequeño mostro grandes habilidades en el baile, canto y en hacer pasar un excelente rato a quienes compartiamos una hermosa velada.Nunca falto Ricardo como improvisador mostrando sus habilidades de cantante y animador, lo conozco desde hace unos quince años, cuando vivia en mi querida Venezuela, y no me sorprendio verlo en la web porque sabia que algun dia él sería uno de los famosos del mundo, este joven talentoso que se, llegará lejos, porque además de excelente en las artes musicales es un bello amigo, buen compañero y un ser angelical ”

— Ada Tunzi, El Avance
