Newly remastered and repackaged, Soul Jazz Records’ ‘Gipsy Rhumba’ was first released to much-critical acclaim around the world in 2012. The album is a stunning mix of Latin, funk, flamenco and rhumba rhythms.
The album is being released on deluxe double vinyl, complete with large text and lush photography across two inner sleeves.
The album is like no other and remains the first album ever outside of Spain to seriously focus on the history of gipsy rhumba, one of the most interesting musical culture clashes ever that first took place in the early 1960s.
In the Catalan region of Spain, gypsies primarily known as the creators of flamenco, came up with a fascinating hybrid style - gipsy rhumba - which blended together Latin and rhumba music of Cuba and the Caribbean together with their own flamenco as well as the emerging rock & roll from America.
The album tells this unique story of how this Latin-tinged music came about in the heart of Spain’s gypsy community. The album comes with extensive sleeve notes
and exclusive and stunning photography from the celebrated French photographer Jacques Leonard.
The album is put together by two of Spain's most important gipsy rhumba specialists - compiler David El Indio and sleeve notes by Jose Manuel Gómez (Gufi).
“A capsule of supercharged clapping and joyous vocals”- The Guardian
