ADAMANT – Kraatz Carromato, a Burlington-based quartet, will bring their special brand of Gitano music to the Adamant Community Club on Sunday, May 18, at 7 p.m.
Says the group’s fiddler, Kevin Fink: “The music of Kraatz Carromato is principally inspired by the Gitanos (Roma) of Spain and Camargue, France. In addition, the Roma carromato, Spanish for caravan, serves as the basis for a broader musical journey that echoes the migration of the Roma people through the Middle East and Europe, connecting Spanish flamenco and rumba with Balkan, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern influences. Performing mostly original compositions drawn from these musical forms, Kraatz Carromato’s songs are songs of migration, of longing for a homeland, of loss, hope, and resilience. The majority of compositions are instrumental, but listeners will also hear new and traditional songs sung in Spanish, Bosnian, English and the Romani language.”
Admission is free for children under 12. The Adamant Community Club is located at 1161 Martin Road, Adamant. For more information, call (802) 454-7103.
