"In an era when spoken-word poetry has carved out a niche
in slam" competitions and even on HBO's Def Poetry, Chaluisan's
work is old- school - often as literate as it is lyrical,
stuffed with images drawn from New York City life.”
Clem Richardson, NY Daily News
"His unique voice as a writer clearly displays his poetic influences,
his uncanny ear for dialogue, and his completely
original sense of humor. It won't be long before Chaluisan is
telling his tales to a wider audience."
Elias Stimac, Backstage
"An exceptional surprise." Juan Moreno, Diario La Prensa
"Refreshingly original, full of energy and extremely honest."
Gloria LaMorte Association of Hispanic Arts (AHA)
An original, uproarious, disarming journey that holds no
limits and where nothing is sacred. Fasten your seat belts and
prepare for a side-splitting and enlightening roller coaster
ride with Luis Chaluisán. Bravo!" Nicholasa Mohr, Author
"Portrays Puerto Rican pride in surviving life in the United
States." Mia Navarro, New York Times
"Dynamite, not exploded at a distance but up close and in
your face." Robert Waddell, Siempre Publications
"Innovative, stylish, imaginative and full of in your face attitude."
Al Tuitt Uptown Express
"A street-poet rap style whose humor is often dark"
Robert Dominguez, New York Daily News
“The work is HOT! Delilah Blue is deeply moving; great to
see boroughs and states represented”
Henry Chlafant Director/Producer Sleeping Dog Films
"Style Wars" and "From Mambo To Hip Hop"
"(Luis) Chaluisan's unique and pioneering work combines
the music and theater worlds into one energetic
performance; Influenced by the honest emotions of the
blues and the pulse and rhythm of street salsa ... no one
will go home disappointed." Noah Fowle, Bronx Times
