Gypsy World Music Concert

International artists will play a varied selection of Gypsy music from around the world. These include:

Kerieva

Singer, instrumentalist and multi-media performer, known for her passion, intensity and dynamism. Her split Manouche (Gypsy) and Irish lineages have led her to a life anything but sedentary, having lived and performed all over the world, giving both a rawness and beauty to her music. www.myspace.com/kerieva

Cristofe Sors

Flamenca Rhumba guitarist and singer, Cristofe’s music draws heavily from that of the Gypsy Kings. www.myspace.com/cristofe.sors

Mazaika

Russian accordionist and singer Igor Outkine and violinist Sarah Harrison. Their performance will be taken from their extensive repertoire consisting of Russian folk and Gypsy music. Mazaika have given concerts and cabaret performances at Concert Halls and Music Festivals throughout Britain, Europe and the U.S.A. From sellout performances at the Purcell Room on London’s South Bank, to notable concert venues including The QEH, St John’s Smith Square, Holders Festival in Barbados, Cambridge Summer Music Festival, Le Quecumbar, London’s premier Gypsy jazz venue and the Hollywell Room in Oxford. Festivals include Rhythms of The World in Hitching, Pittenweem Arts Festival and Belladrum Festival (Scotland), Wild Flower Festival (USA), and at the Edinburgh Fringe.
