Here's a very eclectic piece played by two Romani brothers, Tchavolo and Dorado Schmitt. "Tchavolo Swing" is featured in the film "Latcho Drom", which gives an introduction to Romani culture, especially music. In this piece, we see how these two brothers not only apply elements of their own heritage's music, but also western styles like Flamenco and Swing. Coupled with the virtuosic technique that both musicians employ, this performance makes for quite an interesting combination of genres that come together seamlessly.

Listening to any Flamenco?
