"Very few musicians today can be so adept at the arts of composition, arrangement and performance of a musical language that they were not born into. Richard Boukas is one of these rare individuals, and I heartily recommend his work in all its multiple forms. He definitely has captured the soul of Brazilian music in his heart."

Diálogos Brazilian Duo featuring Louis Arques and Richard Boukas presented two seven-movement cycles, Diálogos (for Clarinet and Guitar, Bass Clarinet and Guitar), each in seven movements.
