San Francisco-based acoustic ensemble performs a repertoire of original compositions with an emotionally charged sound that is difficult to classify yet instantly recognizable. The group’s international roots shine brightly in their music with members from Spain, Quebec, France, Brazil and California and deeply influenced by a wide range of musical traditions.   Barrio Manouche has been recognized for its surprise concerts, innovative style, complex technique, and their passion for their musical improvisations.   With latest collaborations including French Flamenco dancer Fanny Ara, African sacred dance by Brazilian dancer Emaye Ama Mizani, as well as Colombian singer Iván Rondón, Barrio Manouche plays what is perhaps the truest definition of World Music.   Barrio Manouche is taking their audience on a magical journey, with a unique fusion of cultures and musical backgrounds, an auditory and visual feast like no others.    “Barrio Manouche makes magical acoustic music mashed together from all corners of the globe — a new form of Americana, if you will, where flamenco guitar drifts above Brazilian beats, clashing with Gypsy-jazz melodies. It could very well qualify as Americana in another decade or two. Or maybe its rich, gorgeous blend of acoustic Latin-French jazz will always remain distinctly Barrio Manouche.”  — Aaron Carnes         Discography:   “Aires De Cambio” - debut album released June 2018 - produced by doubleOone and Barrio Manouche, distributed by Six Degrees Records   “El Joven” - single released March 1st 2019 - produced by doubleOone and Barrio Manouche, distributed by One rpm Barrio Manouche’s single “El Joven” is out now . https://onerpm.lnk.to/ElJoven http://bit.ly/BarrioTv   Less
