Ketama Essentials

Ketama Essentials

Named for a Moroccan village renowned for its hashish, these fusion giants mixed traditional flamenco with countless other styles for two decades. The three cousins at Ketama's core brought deep Romani soul to the masses with passionate voices, dazzling guitar playing and a sophisticated yet accessible rumba-pop sound. The self-described gypsies made universal music, finding common cause with salsa, jazz, funk and—in later years—rap, hip-hop and house. They explored African music, Algerian rai and elaborate Arabic modes while never straying too far from their flamenco roots.
