| Gipsy Kings Turn Up The Energy at Wolf Trap This Friday Local favorites the Gipsy Kings return to Wolf Trap Friday, June 12th with their blend of progressive pop with cultural influences from Spain's flamenco tradition. In essence, the Gipsy Kings have pioneered pop-oriented flamenco, known in Spain as Sevillana. With a reputation for ethnic-fused, high energy performances, the group arrives armed with new material from their 2006 album Pasajero. Pasajero marks a return to the group's big sound with loud drums, a dub bass, electronic programming, and percussion which topped the charts in Latin Pop Albums, Latin Albums, and World Music Albums. Popular songs include "Vamos a Bailar, " "Volare, " "Baila Me, " and "Sin Ella." As America's National Park for the Performing Arts, Wolf Trap plays a valuable leadership role in both the local and national performing arts communities. Through a wide range of artistic and education programs, Wolf Trap enhances our nation's cultural life and ensures that the arts remain accessible and affordable to the broadest possible audience. A typical season at Wolf Trap includes something for everyone with performances ranging from pop, country, folk, and blues to orchestra, dance, theater, and opera, as well as innovative performance art and multimedia presentations. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Jazz News :: home page |
