Description
The migration from ancient days into modern times is what continuously inspires the the Gypsy Caravan. they have just released their seventh cd, QUEST, which has 14 songs, sometimes powerful, sometimes haunting, the music will transport you through the wide spectrum of emotions, in that eclectic tribal kind of caravan way.
The Gypsy Caravan is an eclectic troupe of tribal bellydancers and musicians, founded in 1991 by artistic director Paulette Rees-Denis. They are urban berbers, a contemporary family, dedicated to performing Middle Eastern and North African inspired rhythms and dances.
Performing a fusion style of tribal bellydance that reflects the ancient longing to celebrate community spirit, their name pays tribute to the nomadic Gypsies and tribal folk who carried their song and dance with them as they traveled. Beginning on the Gypsy Trail in India, the Gypsies performed traditional dances for the various communities they encountered, in Egypt through Algeria, Morocco, Turkey, Greece, to Spain. Rhythms, costumes, and dance styles shaped Gypsy's lives as they migrated from country to country.
The Caravan musicians play a combination of traditional and modern instruments. Percussive acoustic instruments, such as the dumbek, davul, tar, and djembe, match the dancers' vigorous hip movements. Melodies played on various wind instruments including zurna, mizmar, arghul, and ney, inspire the dancers' sinuous stylings. They sometimes fuse other instruments into the music -- the harmonium from India, the didgeridoo from Australia, and others. Together they contribute to an exhilarating and dancer driven, often mesmerizing sound.
