TOURING PERIOD MARCH / APRIL 2007
TIME Magazine :
Roma Rule – ’Gypsy music is escaping its 'ghetto’ in the Balkans and Central Europe to become a worldwide sensation that some fans liken to the birth of jazz in the U.S. in the 1920s. Gypsy music is stirring audiences around the world. Top bands from Central Europe are playing upwards of 100 foreign gigs a year. Filmmakers are hungry for their scores. The music does what music should do, it tears at your heartstrings and gets your blood racing.'
Putumayo presents GYPSY GROOVE club tour in collaboration with
Chat Chapeau, featuring
!DelaDapCLUB, Dj Stani Vana and local DJs, VJs and musicians. Following the release of their new compilation GYPSY GROOVE in March 2007 Putumayo will invite one of the featured artists on the album to tour Europe and promote the album.
