1h 30' After years of wanderings, Olla Vogala, the orchestra of violinist Wouter Vandenabeele, is joining forces with fantastic flamenco musicians. Will they opt for pure flamenco, jazz or world music? With Olla Vogala’s nomadic spirit, anything is possible. Whatever emerges, this promises to be a respectful and delightful encounter between styles and cultures. New compositions based on old flamenco palos, improvisations between wind players and flamenco dance, and to top it all the characteristic gypsy voice of Carmen Fernandez. A ‘gitana’ who sings about the fate of a wonderful people, of nomads and sedentary citizens. What's more, the link with Sephardic music is never far away. And with two stunning Syrian musicians like Elias Bachoura and Shalan Alhamwy, the Arab input also takes shape.
