'Mestizo new style' or 'Balkanorumba' with international line-up 'supergroup'
Rumbaristas is the colorful Belgian-Spanish-French-Italian company centered around the Catalan rumbero Willy Fuego (Amparanoia, La Kinky Beat,...), the French-Sicilian trumpeter-keyboardist Thomas Morzewski and the rhythm section of bassist Tomas De Smet and drummer Roel Poriau (both of whom we also know from Think of One and Laïs).
They have just released their latest album, Malabares, in which the band further develops roots and influences from both Southern and Central European music. The experiment of becoming absolutely multilingual ensures that this album absolutely deserves the label "international rumba. Versatile and innovative, in short 'mestizo new style'.
