LOS VIRTUOSOS VIENTOS DE RUMANÍA

 

FLAMENCO EN LA FRONTERA. NOCHE DE GITANOS One of the most peculiar concerts in this edition is, undoubtedly, the one we’ll see in this gala. A special, magnificent flamenco concert by Don Diego El Cigala, pure singing prepared especially by the maestro for his Madrid, recalling the greatest singers of our history. A premiere in the Sala Roja de los Teatros del Canal and to celebrate it, from Rumania, the gypsies of Fanfare Shavale will offer a masterly ending to the fiesta with their lively, resounding music: a great flamenco evening and a gypsy evening.

The Fanfare Shavale, or, which is the same, Fanfarria Shavale –bear in mind that the definition of fanfarria in the Real Academia de la Lengua Española is a noisy musical ensemble, mainly based on metal instruments -, has in its repertoire traditional Rumanian music such as hore, sârbe, geamparale, in other words, songs for weddings, funerals, festivals, etc., most of them compositions by the famous Balkan musician Goran Bregovic, and also a selection of songs from their international repertoire.

Improvisation is a constant factor in each of Fanfare Shavale’s fiestas. The connection between the instrumentalists in this particular group means that each show is a fiesta that makes the audience want to get up and start dancing as if they were at the fiesta in their town, or even better, in a Rumanian town.

This will be a brilliant display of the music that comes from the instinct, improvisation and creativity of the gypsy people of Rumania, cradle of the race. The same roots as many of our flamenco artists, different ways of evolving and developing music. An absolute contrast of sounds. Undoubtedly one of the most original proposals in this year’s Suma Flamenca.
