"She is something of an ambassador for Latin-American songs, regularly presenting this repertoire in recitals and concert-lectures around the world… she has amassed a collection of scores for some 2,500 songs from eighteen countries, a number that amazes even those of us who have studied Latin-American art songs for some time.“ Dr. Jonathan Kulp – Latin American Music Review / Dec 2006
“Colombian soprano and musicologist Patricia Caicedo has done both her own region and the rest of the world a great favor in researching, compiling, writing commentary for, and editing forty-eight songs by twenty-one composers representing ten countries.” Judit Carman - Journal of Singing. Nov/Dec 2006
“Your abilities as a teacher and coach put even our most inexperienced students at ease empowering them to perform at a higher level.” Dianna Heldman, Director, Program in Vocal Performance The Steinhardt School, New York University , Oct. 2006
“Your work is filling a whole that existed in the vocal music of Latin America, congratulations!”
Nico Castel, Metropolitan Opera Diction Coach, 2006 Celia Motis, National Radio of Spain (RNE), July, 2002
“These lovely pieces are wistful and sorrowful and when Ms. Caicedo sings "Prestame tu Pañuelito," (“Let me borrow your little handkerchief so that I may dry my eyes...”), she sings these notes with the sombreness of a heartbroken lover who has lost everything.” William Gregory, Midwest Ursine, August, 2002
"Reflecting her deep emotional connection to the music, she interprets the repertory with extraordinary sensitivity and sweetness. She is an extraordinary voice bringing this important repertoire to new audiences…" La Vanguardia, Barcelona, Spain Nov. 2001
“And now, thanks to Patricia, a part of that culture has been saved. Because of her unrelenting determination, Art Song continues to thrive. Patricia Caicedo, her dream finally beginning to take shape, has single-handedly revived an entire style of music, rescuing it from extinction and ensuring its future study and performance.” Robert Yaniz Jr. USF Journal, June, 2006
“Caicedo, a native of Colombia, has spent much of her life promoting Latin American Art Song. She has spearheaded a massive effort to recover these works, and thus far in her efforts, she has successfully located over 2,500 Art Songs from throughout Latin America. Currently, Caicedo is developing a network of living composers.” Robert Yaniz Jr., USF Journal June, 2006
“Through the publication of a reference book on the subject, the creation of CDs which feature performances of Art Songs, the organization of an entire festival devoted to the field, and countless lectures and concerts, Caicedo tirelessly works to ensure that Latin American Art Song receives the attention it deserves.” Jennifer Lenhart, Director of Marketing and Communications USF June, 2006
● Colombian soprano and musicologist Patricia Caicedo has done both her own region and the rest of the world a great favor...
Reviewer: Judit Carman - Journal of Singing. November/December 20 (16 Volume 63, No. 2, pp. 231 -237 Copyright 2006 National Association of Teachers of Singing " Since our neighbors to the south appear to be getting a lot of bad press these days in conjunction with our own immigration policy problems and other political disagreements, it is a happy thing to have in hand a brand new critical anthology of Latin American art Song lo explore the artistic soul of America's southern hemisphere. Colombian soprano and musicologist Patricia Caicedo has done both her own region and the rest of the world a great favor in researching, compiling, writing commentary for, and editing forty-eight songs by twenty-one composers representing ten countries—Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Chile, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Although the forty-eight songs in this volume barely scratch the surface of a huge output of Latin American art song that began In the early years of the twentieth century, it is an auspicious beginning to what one hopes will be a steady stream of publications in the years to come.
It is good to have this first anthology of Latin American art song published in the twenty-first century be a critical edition, since we know so little about its history, formative influences, poetry, composers, and performers. The ninety-eight pages of front material acquaint us with much information about these topics as well as give notes on the pronunciation of South American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, on interpretation, side by side English translations and the Spanish or Portuguese original poems, and phonetic transcriptions of each song text. All of this information will be enormously helpful to singers and teachers who wish to explore this rich array of beautiful songs..."

● Your abilities as a teacher and coach put even our most inexperienced students at ease empowering them to perform at a higher level.
Reviewer: Dianna Heldman Associated Director, Program in Vocal Performance The Steinhardt School, New York University It was such a pleasure to have you present and work with our classical voice majors here at NYU. Your knowledge of and passion for the field was the topic of conversation this morning as I met with a group of students to select songs from your book. Likewise, your abilities as a teacher and coach put even our most inexperienced students at ease empowering them to perform at a higher level.
You brought to life this extraordinary body of literature that, thanks to scholars and performers such as yourself, is gaining due respect in our communities. I was unaware of the rich history, variety of language and style and influences that resulted in such songs. As I work a lot with college freshman, I usually start them in the foreign language they studied in high school or perhaps spoke in the home. More often than not, this language is Spanish and sometimes Portuguese. Having your book and recordings in my library allows for so many more choices and resources when considering the varying abilities and personalities of my students.
● Patricia Caicedo: Champion of Art Song
Reviewer: Robert Yaniz Jr. USF Journal, June, 2006 "Presumably, everyone possesses a passion, some ultimate aspiration that drives them to press on and ultimately defines their professional lives. Most people spend their entire lives searching for this dream, and sadly, many never truly identify it. However, although some people succeed in discovering their passion, few have pursued their goals as actively and tenaciously as Patricia Caicedo, who has devoted her life to Latin American Art Song...."

● The fabulous Latin American repertoire that you so effectively champion.
Reviewer: Dr. Craig Russell Musicologist and Guitar player, professor at CALPOLY It sounds like you remain very active and are successful in furthering the fabulous Latin American repertoire that you so effectively champion.

She was
very effective as a clinician. Last year I was able to bring Dr Caicedo to USF to do a workshop with the voice students of USF on some of these art songs. She was very effective as a clinician in helping students understand the style of the songs from the different countries but also was an expert in assisting the the various dialects as well. She has a very pleasing personality that all felt very comfortable working with during the four days she was on campus. She concluded her work with a recital of some of her research collection. Since this time she has been very active in Spain, South America and Mexico lecturing and performing these works that she has researched. In January of 2005 she will publish a book of 50 songs that she has put together with English translations.

JORGE DE PERSIA - 30/01/2005 -LA VANGUARDIA
● Dulce voz
Reviewer: Luis Alfonso Bes music Critic from El Heraldo de Aragón, 17 de Octubre del 2004 La soprano colombiana Patricia Caicedo, que cuenta entre sus maestros a Alfredo Kraus, dio ayer un recital de canción del arte latinoamericana en la Sala Luís Galve del Auditorio bien acompañada al piano por Eugenia Gassull. Este atractivo recital “A mi ciudad nativa” cargado de delicadeza y sentimiento, es un eslabón a añadir a la variada cadena que esta siendo la programación del pilar de este año.
…La soprano puso alma y corazón en los cantos de su tierra, ….la soprano mostró una voz muy adecuada para este tipo de música capaz de transmitir mucho sentimiento sin necesidad de grandes veleidades vocales.
….con su voz dulce y delicada, Patricia Caicedo hizo pasar un rato muy agradable al publico que le aplaudió largamente consiguiendo la interpretación fuera de programa de la canción “Pájaro Azul”.
