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. In each city Putumayo will produce unique collaborations with the local Gypsy music scene.
!DelaDap is a young and vibrant urban Gypsy group from Vienna. Their clubbing concept !DelaDapCLUB - Turntable meets Orkestar is an outstanding monthly club-night in Vienna’s most exciting club The Ost Klub where guest musicians join the musicians of !DelaDap for a musical interaction between !DelaDap’s DJ Stani Vana and guest DJs.
The tour will showcase artists who are featured on the GYPSY GROOVE compilation such as Prague-based Romany hip-hop group Gipsy.cz, who seamlessly blend traditional Eastern European flavors with modern hiphop, and German band and DJ Eastenders, introducing an exotic blend of European club culture and Oriental flavors. Other artists participating in the tour are Romano Drom, an energetic Hungarian group adding modern influences to their traditional Olah Gypsy music, cymbalon virtuoso Vasile Nedea from OMFO and Bulgarian Borislav Petrov from the band Tarhana, who blend traditional Balkan and Oriental Flavours with Afro-Anatolian grooves.
While in the past outstanding Gypsy musicians went to Vienna to join the !DelaDapCLUB, the Putumayo Gypsy Groove tour 2007 will bring them to clubs throughout Europe: The !DelaDapCLUB will join Gypsy music lovers from around Europe to celebrate a unique night of Gypsy Grooves.
