Gypsy Sound Revolution

Gypsy Sound Revolution, led by drummer Cédric Leonardi and fellow Gipsy Kings alumni, mixes rumba with Indian raga. They play a unique fusion of Indo-Gypsy music that is both meditative and joyful.

“This lineage of the gypsy music; it has evolved over time from singing about God, to singing about the joy in the simple things in life. That is a major idea of this project—blending those two elements of the sacred and the mundane.”
