Rasgueo

A very exciting aspect of worldmusic is that it travels around the world, settles down here and there and get fusioned to something new. A very nice example is the flamenco that is no longer just developed and played in its country of origin Spain, but also for example in Berlin where the band Rasgueo has created its very own thrilling fusion of Jazz and Flamenco with dueling guitar and trumpet melodies. And Rasgueo is an international band headed by the Greek guitarist Nikos Tsiachris and completed by the bavarian jazz trumpet player Martin Auer, Diego Piñera from Uruguay and the double bass player Martin Lillich also coming from the south of Germany.
