All the group members of Aire Gitano stem from Jerez de la Frontera’s famous gipsy quarters: Barrio San Miguel and Barrio Santiago.
Both of these barrios are truely infamous amonst any flamenco lover. This is the homestead of families which have for centuries, generation after generation, produced magnificent artists and which hence have played a major role in the history of the ARTE FLAMENCO.
This "homely" and crafty tradition is simply unique in the musical world.
The good news is that this homestead of flamenco still keeps on producing highly talented young artists.
Aire Gitano is the living proof that flamenco, not in the least in these legendary gipsy quarters, is not merely folcloristic, but an actual and living artform.
It is a great relief and reassurement to many an artlover to see that even in these modern and hightech times there are stille young, talented artists who take their turn in a rich tradition.
The formation Aire Gitano has all the assets to become an important representant of that extraordinary jerezian flamenco culture.
