flamenco with spiritual longing.......2007-07-20

"The most obvious comparison one will draw on first listening will be to the Gypsy Kings. The driving flamenco guitar, rumba-inflected rhythms, and emotion-laden melismatic singing are the legacy of the Gitan tradition. Combine that with ecstatic religious expression and the result is both intensely personal and expansively universal. What this group lacks of the Gypsy Kings' slick sheen they make up for in sincere emotional intensity. The voices are not always clear and spot-on pitchwise, but this rough-hewn quality adds to the overall impact. The sibling harmonies, however, are pure and accurate. The propulsive guitar playing by Jérémie and Jérôme is clean and expressive. Chants Religieux Gitans is refreshing in its unabashed ardor and unapologetic sense of spiritual longing." - Peggy Latkovich, RootsWorld

TEKEMALI.......2007-01-10

I'm a big flamenco aficianado. This ensemble sounds like they are playing the real thing (flamenco)even though the songs are liturgical in nature. You'd never know if you did not speak and understand Spanish. Very interesting for flamenco fans.
