Urban Gypsies

Based in: Sydney NSW
Line up(s) available: solo, 2 piece (duo), 3 piece (trio), 4 piece (quartet)

The Urban Gypsies are an instrumental Jazz/ Latin/ Classical/ Contemporary guitar duo.
They also perform as a trio with percussion/ violin, or as a quartet with the addition of bass.

They represent an exciting direction in Latin / Classical mixed with funk, rumba and gypsy swing. The music varies from fiery guitar virtuosity through to lounge bossa nova, classical pieces and popular classics.

Urban Gypsies began in Perth, Western Australia in 1998 playing a mix of original, cross cultural acoustic guitar music with world music influences.

The original members of the group were noted Australian guitarists Gavin Libotte and Glenn Rogers. From this fiery duo came the album Gypsy Fever and a series of concerts at the Fremantle Arts Centre, Perth Jazz Society, Kulcha, Fairbridge Festival and Joondalup Festival. They have also supported international artists such as Kristina Olsen, Cassandra Wilson at the Perth Concert Hall, and the Buena Vista Social Club on their Australian tour.

Following this period Gavin Libotte’s move to Sydney prompted guitarist Simon Philips to join him to create a more progressive version of the group.
These two guitarists capitalised on their energetic musical prowess. The production of the second album Sauvage (which was released April 2003) reflects such qualities. Gordon Tan joined the duo in 2006. They have since been touring Australia playing on the festival circuit. The latest cd “Beautiful Catastrophe” is due to be released in April 2008.

Recently they have had huge success playing at the Barossa Valley Wine Festival, Braidwood Festival, Sydney Acoustic Guitar Festival, MIldura Jazz Festival and many more. They have held residencies and concerts in exclusive Sydney venues including Cargo Bar, The Basement, Watershed Hotel in Darling Harbour, Cafe Sydney, Side on Cafe, and Hemmesphere.

They recently impressed large audiences at the Bellingen Global Carnival. Perfect for corporate functions, parties, events and weddings. They can provide the ideal atmosphere for your special event.
