Get ready for the new Flamenco-Jazz

Get ready for the new Flamenco-Jazz

Kejaleo kicks off successfully "Alaire" tour at Barcelona

After their show for 6.000 people at LIVE in BLUE BAY JAZZ FESTIVAL (Ukraine) and a warm welcome at the 24th Mercat de Música Viva de Vic, the flamenco-jazz band will play at Barcelona International Jazz Festival on November. The concert tour will continue at USA, Canada and South America. 

The talent and magic of percussion player Xavi Turull and guitarists Diego Cortés and Cristo Fontecilla get together in a tremendous display of energy in KEJALEO, a flamenco-jazz-fusion band that began its journey by the end of 2011. Having these three outstanding musicians together on stage results in an avalanche of passion, colors and textures based on flamenco. Telluric rhythms flavored with massive amounts of melodies, the kind that come right out from the guts.

Sensitivity and fury hold hands in an atmosphere reminiscent of legendary bands such as Ojos de brujo and Amalgama, co-founded by Xavi Turull, or Iberia and Jaleo, formed by Diego Cortés. A tour de force that would be impossible, without the eclecticism and knowledge of Cristo Fontecilla, Roger Blávia's impetus on drums, Jordi Franco's savoir faire on bass and Rosalia Vila's warm and lush voice.
