Gypsy Moon (Cd)

In the underground dance scence, there is a sound that has captured the imagination of fans from around the world. This is the rich, compelling groove of Deva Priyo--the musical maestro behind One At Last. Priyo began his odyssey to create this signature sound in 1992, performing in clubs and concerts with a group he called Gypsy Moon. Now on Gypsy Moon, the debut album for Priyo's popular band, he creates a fresh, sultry sound by blending the tribal heartbeat of African drums, the danceable groove of trance electronica, and his smooth, seductive mastery of the Flamenco guitar. The intoxicating mingling of traditions from past and present is Deva Priyo's musical trademark--drawing in sell-out crowds at dance clubs, concerts, and major events like the Melany Festival and Burning Man. With Gypsy Moon, Priyo liberates the passionate heart of the Spanish guitar, creating a new and sensuous evolution of the trance-dance sound that entices listeners with a magnetic pull to dance. Gypsy Moon ... is led by multi-talented musical virtuoso Deva Priyo. Born in Sicily of opera singer parents, Priyo has spent his whole life exploring the traditions and frontiers of music. With both Gypsy Moon and One At Last, he has been regularly packing the floors of dance clubs in Hawaii, Australia, and all across the West Coast. Gypsy Moon also features the talents of Brian Forbes, Trey Longstreph, and Glen Falkenberg.
