Review from All About Jazz (by Jim Santella):
World music is universal. As bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons performs eleven original compositions with his small ensemble, we're treated to the sounds of India, Persia, Spain, Ireland, South America, South Africa, and more. Reaping a contemporary flavor with the harmonic depth of a much larger ensemble, his band provides exotic sounds and pleasant melodies.
Born in 1962 in Paris from Spanish parents, Garcia-Fons has a natural grasp of world music. His title track, "Entremundo," features bowed bass on a soaring climb over the various mountain ranges that circle the globe. By closing the album's program with an eight-minute bass solo, he gives his audience reason to savor the instrument's capacity for lyrical melody. A bass virtuoso, Garcia-Fons emerges as a spokesman for the universal language. Like Yanni, he has the ability to mesmerize the masses with his dynamic performance. Classical music from centuries past combines with folkloric idioms from all over the world in this musical ambassador's vibrant presentation.
"Entre Continentes" captures the celebratory atmosphere found anywhere. Dancing with a lively step, the ten-piece ensemble drives its message forcefully. Don't stop to sit down. You've got to join this wedding celebration with feet flying. "Sarebân" emerges dreamily from a cocoon and proceeds to emulate Michael Flatley's Riverdance, with its persuasive dance aura and popular flute echoes. Classical Spain is represented by Garcia-Fons' lovely pizzicato foray through "Rosario" and his trio's heart-wrenching ache on "40 Días."
The impressionism represented on Entremundo can mesmerize any audience. As Garcia-Fons persuades his five-string acoustic bass to sound like a sitar, violin, cello and guitar, he's in command of the situation. He's in a position to unite nations of music lovers.

Resena de All About Jazz (por Jim Santella):
La musica del mundo es universal. Mientras el bajista Renaud Garcia-Fons interpreta once composiciones originales con su pequeno ensemble, nos deleitan los sonidos de India, Persia, Espana, Irlanda, Sudamerica, Sudafrica y mas. Cosechando un sabor contemporaneo con la profundidad armonica de un conjunto mucho mas grande, su banda ofrece sonidos exoticos y melodias agradables.
Nacido en 1962 en Paris de padres espanoles, Garcia-Fons tiene una comprension natural de la musica del mundo. Su tema titular, "Entremundo", presenta el bajo con arco en una escalada soaring sobre las diversas cordilleras que rodean el globo. Al cerrar el programa del album con un solo de bajo de ocho minutos, le da a su audiencia razon para saborear la capacidad del instrumento para la melodia lirica. Un virtuoso del bajo, Garcia-Fons emerge como portavoz del lenguaje universal. Como Yanni, tiene la capacidad de hipnotizar a las masas con su interpretacion dinamica. La musica clasica de siglos pasados se combina con los idiomas folcloricos de todo el mundo en la vibrante presentacion de este embajador musical.
"Entre Continentes" captura la atmosfera celebratoria que se encuentra en cualquier lugar. Bailando con un paso animado, el ensemble de diez piezas transmite su mensaje con fuerza. No te detengas a sentarte. Tienes que unirte a esta celebracion de boda con los pies volando. "Sareban" emerge sonolientamente de un capullo y procede a emular el Riverdance de Michael Flatley, con su persuasivo aura de danza y sus ecos de flauta populares. La Espana clasica esta representada por la encantadora incursion pizzicato de Garcia-Fons en "Rosario" y el desgarrador dolor de su trio en "40 Dias."
El impresionismo representado en Entremundo puede hipnotizar a cualquier audiencia. Mientras Garcia-Fons persuade a su bajo acustico de cinco cuerdas para que suene como un sitar, violin, cello y guitarra, esta al mando de la situacion. Esta en posicion de unir a las naciones de los amantes de la musica.
