The Gypsy Crims are a Melbourne based Duo performing Infectious Gypsy Flamenco guitar music composed by Orlando and accompanied by Michael Kontachristos.
Orlando is a self taught Flamenco guitarist who was born into a family of Artists in Avalon on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, he spent most of his childhood listening watching or playing Flamenco. Nicknamed 'Vikingo De Jerez' Orlando is inspired by the Gipsy Flamenco artists of Andalucia Spain and has a sound very true to Jerez De La Frontera a small province in Andalucia Spain where Flamenco is considered to be very authentic. Orlando also being an accomplished Oud player has infused the sound of the Oud within his very own unique style of Flamenco Guitar technique that has earned him praise from excellent musicians worldwide. Endorsed by Ostrie Music U.S.A with Daniel Mari Flamenco guitar strings and with recent guitar sponsorship Orlando now performs on Faustino and Mariano Senior Conde Hermanos flamenco guitars. With an Album on the horizon which will be recorded in his very own recording studio (Duende Studios) Orlando is very much at a prime in his performance and technique.
Michael Kontachristos accompanies on the cajon, Michael's has a unique and exciting style of percussion based mainly in Flamenco & draws style and technique from Latin America and the Middle East. Proficient in All Styles of percussion and with a degree in classical percussion at the V.C.A. he is considered to be one of Australia's top percussionists amongst many and now currently teaches at The Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. Staying true to the flamenco Art form for the last ten years he has performed with every Flamenco group in Melbourne & finally finding his home place as a Crim. Michael has spent more than 25 years performing amongst the finest Flamenco & World Music Artists within Australia. Michael compliments Orlando's Guitar with precision and intensity that is rarely seen amongst duo's of this Calibre worldwide and disassembles the compass in a way very much like an Indian Tabla player would, India being where the roots of Gipsy Flamenco Originate in Rajasthan.

A sunbeam is needed sometimes. A kind word, a greeting, a caress are needed, a smile. So few things are needed for it in order for us to make those who live around us happy. Why do we not do this then?
