| Biography | Manouche music beautifully combines jazz with the warmth and liveliness of the Gypsy culture of Western Europe. Fronted by singer and guitarist Jean de Talhouet, the band includes clarinet (Dave Shulman), gypsy guitars (Dave Kelbie), and double bass (Ruth Goller), Kamao create a beautiful and rich sound that complements the vocals with haunting and lyrical harmonies. Their repertoire ranges from hot swinging jazz featuring captivating virtuoso improvisations, to the saddest gypsy ballads, the liveliest waltzes, as well as original compositions. |
