A double bill on Saturday November 13 Howe Gelb will & a band of Gypsies in collaboration with Raimundo Amador and Zenet.
Cheers, the new album from Howe Gelb & A Band of Gypsies not sound like nothing you've heard before.
While maintaining the familiar taste of the Arizona desert that Howe has been cultivated over the years, both solo and with Giant Sand the sound acquires new shades to blend with the beats of flamenco.
In this album, which brings the Cartagena Jazz Festival, Howe explores uncharted territory somewhere between American roots rock, southern and border, and the purest flamenco.
Also on stage will get on with it, the great Raimundo Amador.
Little more can you ask.
Also the Andalusian Zenet crooner will bring its China Seas festival tomorrow.
Their music blends exquisitely bolero, jazz, swing, flamenco ... His songs were heard on television series, in movies ... and now come to Cartagena Jazz Festival.
The program will begin with the Andalusian singer at 21:30.
Tickets 18 Euros.
Redefining the meaning of fusion.
"Cheers", the new album from Howe Gelb & A Band of Gypsies not sound like nothing you've heard before.

He found the perfect atmosphere to start your new project with Fernando Vacas (Flow, Prin La Lá).
Echoes of Tomatito and passion that inspired the American Cordoba, were some of the other disk.
Accompanied by musicians Cordoba between those who are regular contributors like Lin Raimundo Amador Cortes (guitar), Juan Panki (guitar) or Indigo Fernandez (cajon), the album started taking shape in endless trials.
Gelb's voice instantly seduced by the Andalusian musicians and after several meetings, Gelb began writing the first letters of the album, inspired by the intensity of the sessions.
In closing, the emergence of self Raimundo Amador, who will also be at the festival, I decided to join the project with his touch and inimitable virtuoso that musicians have already benefited the likes of Björk or BB King.
Finished the album, Giant Sand leader suggested the collaboration of his friend John Parish, English musician and producer, known for his work with PJ Harvey.
The result is an album that retains the flavor of the two traditions merged, trails Southern roots of both sides of the Atlantic, while discovering a new and unique way of interpreting them.

But he does not care.

His mother sang as an amateur, "but my parents were also very modern and in my house I heard a lot of Beatles, Sinatra, Chet Baker ... My mental music files tend to seek common and melodies of nature mixed with my roots that is funny "he said in a recent interview.
More so when the bank completes Zenet two fundamental legs: José Taboada guitar and a lyricist who knows how to put on paper the stories of love sweaty how well you are going to Tony: Javier Laguna.
