Review:
“fiery flamenco and latin textures” - NF Review
Description:
On their US debut, Europe’s Gitano Family sets the floor afire with 14 tracks of the authentic sound of Europe's rhumba-flamenco Gypsy tradition. Members of the Gypsy tribe called 'Gitano' (as are the famed Gipsy Kings), Gitano Family is truly the next generation of this infectious sound.
Noted the world over for their thrilling live performances, Torero! captures Gitano Family in all their intoxicating variety - vocals and instrumentals - ballads to flamencos.
Biography:
Hailing from the Arles region of Southern France, the home of their Gypsy tribe, the Gitanes, Gitano Family has toured the world and spread the infectious sound of traditional Rhumba Flamenco music. Gitano Family was originally formed by Julio Romero and François Amador, veterans of the famed Gypsy group The Reyes, also the roots of El Gitano Reyes, better known as The Gipsy Kings.
Deeply engaged in the centuries old traditions of their people, Gitano Family brings both skillful musicianship and a breathless enthusiasm to the 'el ventilator' guitar technique and the hand clapped Gypsy Compas rhythms. The group consists of seven guitarists, including leader (and former bullfighter) Julio Romero, Francois Canut Amador, Canut Reyes, Titi Paul Reyes, Julio Miguel Romero, Joseph Gautier and Mario Reyes. Joining this group - the core of the Gitano Family sound - are 4 other musicians, including bass and percussion, plus a trio of traditional dancers.
Gitano Family’s riveting live show has been seen across Europe, South America, and North Africa including appearances in Germany, England, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, Morroco, Tunisia, Venezuela and, of course, their native France.
