This is my kind of music when it's done right and it's done right here. I can just imagine a guitar player on a stool playing intensely, moving his body with the ebb a nd flow of the music in his head while a dancer works the clicks of her heels. I have a tendency to bring up images from within my mind. Vigwig

Gründungsjahr 2002
FlamenCore Combo aus Berlin, Deutschland. Erst seit zwei Jahren in Berlin und schon so bekannt wie der sprichwörtliche bunte Hund, so könnte man Casino Gitano beschreiben. Farbenfroh auch die Landschaften, aus denen die internationalen Bandmitglieder stammen. Spanien ist dabei, Frankreich, Polen, Schweden, ebenso wie Mexiko und Serbien. Schon morgen hat sich möglicherweise ein weiteres Land hinzugesellt, denn die Zusammensetzung der zur Zeit 12-köpfigen Gypsie-Combo kann sich so schnell ändern, wie der Musikstil von einem Lied zum nächsten. Wollte man die Musik mit eine Genre-Schlagwort benennen, fiele sie wohl unter die Bezeichnung "Multikulti" oder "Weltmusik". Bei näherem Hinhören jedoch lassen sich differenziertere unkonventionell-folkloristische Klänge wahrnehmen: Punk-Trash und Underground-Tango bilden eine rasante Symbiose mit Speed-Polka, Hardcore-Stepptanz und Zigeuner-Folklore. Nicht zu vergessen auch die musikbegleitende Show, die Theater und Steppen gekonnt kombiniert. Eine Musikunterhaltung also, die mitreißt, zum tanzen und feiern animiert und niemanden unberührt lässt. Das haben Casino Gitano u.a. im Tacheles, in der Columbiahalle, auf der Fête de la Musique und auf dem Fusion-Festival bewiesen. Ihr einjähriges Bestehen feierte die Band mit ihrer ersten CD, die am 20. Dezember 2004 erschienen ist. Ein Garant für die Qualität der CD ist nicht zuletzt der Co-Produzent Thomas Stern, der unter anderem viele Jahre für die Einstürzenden Neubauten oder für Meret Becker gearbeitet hat. ______________________________________________________________________________

FlamenCore Combo from Berlin, Germany. Only for two years in Berlin and already in such a way admits like the proverbial multicolored dog, then could one describe Casino Gitano. Color-gladly also the landscapes, from those the international volume members come. Spain participates, France, Poland, Sweden, just like Mexico and Serbia. Already tomorrow possibly a further country joined, because the composition that at present 12-koepfigen Gypsie Combo can change as fast, as the music style from a song to the next. Wanted one the music with category key word designates, would probably fall her under the designation "Multikulti" or "world music". With closer Hinhoeren however more differentiated unorthodox folkloristische leaves itself Sounds notice: Punk Trash and Underground Tango form a rapid symbiosis with speed Polka, Hard core quilting dance and gypsy folklore. Too also, the theatres do not forget the music-accompanying show and steppes skillfully combines. A music maintenance thus, which drags along, dances and celebrates to animated and nobody leaves unaffected. Casino Gitano u have that.A. in the Tacheles, in the Columbiahalle, proved on the Fête de la Musique and on the Fusion-festival. Their one year's existence those celebrated volume with their first CD, to 20. December 2004 appeared. A guarantor for the quality that CD is not least a CO producer Thomas star, that among other things many years for the collapsing New buildings or for Meret Becker worked.
BAND HISTORY:
The tale of Casino Gitano began on the 13th of June 2002.That day a charity concert for the street artist Logo Lard was staged in Berlin¹s Tacheles. Logo had been suffering from Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which at some point had forced him into a coma.
The brothers Sancho and Pancho grabbed their acoustic guitars and summoned singer Ivana, the tap-dancing Rodriguez sisters and Eddie Egal the Cajonist onto the stage. Together they proceeded to overwhelm the audience with their Gipsy-Jazz music, and in particular with their song Logololailo, written in honour of their ill friend.
This night was followed by a time in which the group extensively toured Berlin¹s renowned Bars and Nightclubs. During that same year three more musicians joined the band. Tonio Gonzales took his place on the Cajon, Swedish cloth-acrobat Juanita joined with her violin and Pablo Luzanda added his Russian base-violin named Olga.
Singer and accordion player Thierry Fantasy became a constant member of the Gitanos in the beginning of 2003 and was followed shortly after by Lubi, master of Serbian Flamenco. Up until now the band had already played in numerous clubs and many festivals.
Casino Gitano¹s first record "La Mentira de los Payos", was released by the end of 2003. The release was celebrated with a spectacular Fiesta in the Kesselhaus of Berlin¹s Kulturbrauerei (International Booking Agency BLACK DOOR Concerts, Berlin). By now Logo Lard had to the most part recovered from his illness.
Around the time of the record release, flutist and explosives-specialist Maja, as well as Tuba-player Franko Negro had joined the band. The following year saw countless concerts in various German cities, as well as a small tour through Italy and Switzerland.
Early 2005 Casino Gitano split from founding member Sancho. The band wishes him and his new group, the Los Bomberos, best of luck and lots of success.
The gitanos would like to take this chance to thank all the guest musicians who have supported them over the years:
Eddie Egal (Cajon), Mex S (Flamenco), Frank Sin Otra (bass), Larsito (trompet), Günther (trompet), Daggie (trombone), Rene (Schlüsselgeige), Tom (guitar), Laura La Risa (Flamenco), Tamara (singer), Ole (Bandoline, singing saw), Thorsten Birzer (guitar), Daphne (singer), Meckie (violin).
But the tale continues: In July 2005 the group was joined by chain-smoking Vedran and lung-diseased Donau-Swabian Slobodan. With their trombone and trumpets they have considerably raised the sound levels, and balkanised the repertoire.
The member number has now equalised on a constant of 13. In the folk-tales and myths of many cultures this number is the quintessence of bad luck. In Russia it is referred to as the devil's dozen (çërtova djúzina).
M U S I C and S H O W
In good old gypsy ways Casino Gitano feed from the vast reservoir of the European Folk-Music tradition without any inhibition. Next to the orthodox flamenco you can hear a variety of genres such as Tango, Swing, Chansons, or Folklore. These gitanos, however, differ from their spiritual counterparts in such a way, that rather than making their music unique through unequalled virtuosity, they infuse their original material with ska-punk, or speed-polka. This mixture attracts an audience made up of people who often otherwise have no interest in folklore whatsoever.
Dancers Carmen and Christina Rodriguez are the visual centre-piece of the show. On stage they are often joined in tap- or flamenco dance by their ancient admirer Lubi. Next to them singers Thierry and Ivana exhibit a never ending stream of ideas and the compulsive need to move. Inevitably the audience will sooner or later start moving in strange and awkward ways, a cross between flamenco and pogo - a motion-analogy to the musicŒs cross-bred nature. Neither audience nor performers will ever be safe from surprises.

D´Wältnomadä bitted zum Tanz
Mit irne farbigä Flamenco-Chleider und irem autäntischä Tschipsi-Schtiil sind d’Casino Gitano, di waarschindli uuffälligscht Erschiinig, womer i dä letschtä Jahre uf dä Bühnä und Strassä vo Berlin hät chönä xee. Zu däm kunterbuntä gross-stettischä Tschipsi-Klän ghöräd underdessä 16 Musiker und Tänzer, und d’Gruppä wachst öppä so beschtändig wie iri Fängmeind. Öb im Berliner SO36 mit äm Fermin Muguruzza und dä Banda Bassotti, im RAW-Tämpel, im Tacheles, uf äm Fusionfestival mit Amparanoia, i dä Arena in Wien odär uf irär eigenä Record-Release-Party im Chesselhuus: d’Casino Gitano mit irne charismatischä und mitriisändä Sängär Thierry und Ivanuschka schaffäds immer wider, bi irem ebeso bunt gmischtä Publikum Begeischterigsschtürm z’entfachä.
Casino Gitano träged dä globali Gedankä scho i irem Herzä, schliässlich sind sie i dä multikulturellä Metropole Berlin entstandä. Fröhlich bedienäd sie sich us äm folkloristischä Fundus verschidnigschter Wältkulturä, vom Balkan über Andalusiä bis Rio de Janeiro. Sie schaffed debi öppis Nöis, Öppis wo losglöst vo jedärä Tradition d’Generationä und au di verschidnigä Szene tuet vereinä. Tschipsi-Swing, Balkanfolklorä, äs Bizli Polka und Tango, au än Huuch vo Flamenco –d’Casino Gitano chömed ganz ohni Rockelemänt, Elektronik oder verfälschändi Mischige us. Äs isch di füürigi und bewegändi Seelä, irä eigentlichi Chern, wo d’Casino Gitano repräsentieräd- Flamencore.
Ires erscht Album „la mentira de los Payos“ isch, längscht überfällig, im dezämbär 2003 usechoo. Produziert häts dä Thomas Stern, är hät scho erfolriich mit Einstürzende Neubauten und dä Meret Becker zämä gschaffet.
Jetz isch es a dä Ziit d’Wält z’bereise, wies sich für ächti Gitanos ghört. Im Mai gaats über d’Schwiiz nach Italiä, im Auguscht staat Holland und Skandinaviä uf äm Programm und im Septämbär sind Uuftritt in Moskau und Petersburg planet.
Spannend bliibt d’fraag nach dä waare Härkunft vo dä Gitanos. So vill wird verraatä: dä einzig ächti Roma isch dä Sänger, Akkordeonischt und Entertainer Thierry. Di steppändä Zwilling Carmen und Cristina und d’Sängeri Ivanuschka sind us Spaniä, d’Giigeri Hanna Skowitschka isch Schwedin. Me seit Sancho und Pancho stammid us Andalusiä und me munklet dä Pablo Luzando seg früenär än polnische Meischter am Kontrabass xii, aber wer weiss scho gnauers über dä Tonio Gonzales oder gar dä Frank sin Otra...
Doch spötischtens uf dä Bühni zeigt sich, wie vill Sangre Gitana i dä Aadere vo denä Wältnomadä flüüst, dänn sie wüssäd, wiämär ä Fiesta fiiräd: spontan, wild und übermüätig.
