La Maravilla Gipsy Band

Up to a dozen artists on the stage with only one task: to set the beat while merging Andalusian music with East European Balkan culture, both of them with strong personalities, with Gipsy and Arabian influences, with nomadic and Mediterranean spirit and full of lively music.

La Maravilla Gipsy Band is a music blending project that nourishes from an endless source of creativeness, highlighting Gipsy cultures: Gipsy, Klezmer, Tzigane… All of it wrapped in humour; humour used as springboard to achieve a total Balkan madness.
