So it's not everyday that I have the pleasure of being swept away with acoustic music that completely wraps it's way around my heart. Not to mention the blending of the cello that glides it's way perfectly into the mix. IndieLove was was so lucky to be sent a link where they had no idea what they were in for. Then clicking play, these soft latin sounds transported the office into another place. If you haven't spent enough time relaxing or just been to caught up in modern clashes of crap music ( And yes i'm sorry but some songs should be retired before they are released) then sit back and feel these orchestrated masterpieces by The Urban Gypsies.
Urban Gypsies Quartet are an instrumental Jazz/Latin/contemporary band featuring nylon string guitars, cello and percussion. They represent an exciting direction in Latin / jazz mixed with world music influences, exploring a wide range of styles and genres from breezy Bossa Novas to fiery improvised virtuosity. Each instrumentalist is a master of his medium and the results are imaginative, mesmerising and highly evocative.
Urban Gypsies Quartet have been performing for over 15 years at numerous concerts, festivals, clubs and special events. They have supported Buena Vista Social Club, Cassandra Wilson, and many more world famous acts. They have held residencies and concerts in exclusive Sydney venues including The Basement, The Vanguard, Venue 505, Camelot, Cafe Sydney, Side on Cafe, the Ivy and the Establishment. They have released three highly acclaimed Albums to date: Gypsy Fever (2000), Sauvage (2003) and Beautiful Catastrophe (2009). The fourth Album “Samsara” is out now!!
