Solana, stomping Gypsy folk, at the Old Firehouse
Solana are an instrumental gypsy-folk band. Hailing from all corners of Europe, their style reflects the diversity of their backgrounds and interests: their sound encompasses folk, swing, klezmer, flamenco, latin, reggae and trip-hop. Their live shows combine intricate arrangements with energetic performances and healthy doses of improvisation, and have been getting crowds dancing across the UK, France and Spain since their formation in late 2012.
“Plaintive Spanish guitars meet exuberant Celtic flutes and irrepressible fiddles in a feast of Jiggery-Polkary” --- John Blakely, Ear Trumpet Music.
“Solana offer charm and perfect execution” --- Loris Bohm, LineaTrad.
