"This little jewel will find a place in my top 10 of the year, I'm sure."
-Marc Lalonde - CKRH FM (Halifax)

"Joanna Moon creates a intensely unique sound, mixing both the latin-flamenco flavour with an unmistakable Quebecois soul. She possesses a uniquely gifted voice, listening to her music there is a hint of an old soul reminding us of long lost passions."
-Mikhail Saavedra - Alternavox / Indie Highlights

"With Vagabunda, Joanna Moon has discovered her Gypsy way with a flamenco style that brushes against Arab rhythms, coming back sometimes towards Cuba, sometimes toward Spain but always with a sensation of lightness that entices us to lounge on the patio in the Marché By under the hot summer sun."
-Stéphane Jobin - l'Express (Ottawa)

"She flavors her French and Spanish cantes with a mixture of Flamenco, Latino and Arab music concocted by seasoned musicians."
-Philippe Alarie - le Voir (Ottawa)

"On stage, bare feet and dressed as a Gypsy, she transports the public into the heart of the Arabo Spanish culture."
-Caroline Amiard - l'Express (Toronto)

"At 2 p.m, on the “Sirius” stage, arrived Joanna Moon...she enchanted the crowd with her personal touch, mixing her original French and Spanish material to some pieces of interpretation chosen with meticulous care."
-Luc Archambault - le Métropolitain (Toronto)
