Some vioces about Karolina:
"Karolina Vucidolac's melodies with rattling rhythmical consonants enchanted in a way I have never experienced before."
- Nerikes Allehanda, Henrik Englöv
"She seems to master everything - it was impressive to hear her on fast tunes like Canibaile and
Influenciado with verbal cascades seldom heard before, not to mention One Note Samba."
- Norrbottenskuriren, Gunnar Lindgren
"How can a Gothenburgian girl with Macedonian background match such a tight and hard core Brazilian trio as this one? It works tremendously well, she blends in as if she were born at the foot of the Sugar Loaf of Rio de Janeiro."
- OJ, Gunnar Lindén
"This is World class."
- Trummeriet, Bo Guting
"When Karolina Vucidolac joins the group on stage, the music grows and takes off to unbelievable heights."
- Ttela, Karin Engqvist
"Few non-Brazilian singers have managed to absorb the Brazilian music tradition like Macedonia-born vocalist Karolina Vucidolac."
- Fasching, Ulf Adåker
"Her Portuguese pronounciation is perfect, with the typical piercing vowels, even when the tempo is breathtaking."
- DN, Martin Nyström
"Vucidolac shows a brilliant familiarity with the essence of music."
- GP, Ulf Johansson
"She sings with a completely natural and uninhibited sensualism."
- DN, Martin Nyström
"Karolina Vucidolac gets ample opportuniry to show her potential. She does that in a very captivating way, through - always with a marvelous timing - moving between the sweet and the raw."
- Kultunaut, Kaspar Thormod
"It is an enthralling experience to listen to Karolina Vucidolac and The Nosso Trio."
- Ale kuriren
"The line between great art and madness is indeed a thin one. The explosivity that emerged on the stage was sometimes bordering insanity. Like when the phenomenal drummer Kiko Freitas came loose; like when Karolina Vucidolac howled nasally, with moments of mad laughter and hissings in some kind of siren call, in a way that made you start squirming. Afterwards, she declared with a smile that "this was the sound of the origin inside us".
- Nerikes Allehanda Henrik Englöv
"When Vucidolac's voice is integrated into the band sound, it takes on a basically instrumental function. Different timbres are tried and recognized, the language is used as percussion at breakneck speed. In Algun Vocais, a free, sound creating piece by Vucidolac, language is dismantled into its smallest components. The vocal arsenal is built up with guttural, nasal, hissing and diphthongized fragments, playing against an inciting ostinato. In her performance, Karolina makes room for shouting and chattering, she works with shifting registers, she breaks the limits and gets into a pleasurable duel with the drums. Her whole body is engaged as she produces vocal lunges and whims. Regardless of the expression being exploratory or falling within the tradition, Vucidolac finds her own voice. Insenzatez, by Jobim, is performed in a slow, very personal way. The attitude in the language produces the sound and the depth of feeling. One Note Samba, on the other hand, is performed at supersonic speed. Actually, the note in the scratch pad reads: "This girl is crazy!"
- Bohuslänningen, Kiki Eldh
"...her own vocal, wordless performance, Alguns vocais-an exeptional explosion (outburst) in the art of playing and expressing oneself with the voice."
- Norbotten-Kuriren Gunnar Lindgren
