A group with a unique identity, Zaragraf have been on the road for 20 years !
Zaragraf is first and foremost the endearingly joyful voice of Mira (Slovenia), surprisingly childlike but also deep and poignant when it goes up and becomes torn without ever breaking. Or when she sings the Gypsy anthem Djelem, Djelem with
profound emotion ...
Pepe Martinez (accordion, tuba, cajón ..) is a charismatic flamenco singer and
multi-instrumentalist influenced by his Andalusian roots and Spanish culture . Bruno Manjarres, a multi-instrumentalist and virtuoso of the flamenco guitar of Spanish origin, adds multiple Mediterranean colors to the mix.
Emmanuel Waffler (acoustic and electric guitar vocals,) and Michel Altier (double bass) enhance the projet with suitable rock blues and jazz influences .
Open to multiple cultures and in tune with their influences and their time, Zaragraf blazes a trail with ingenuity and relevance across the music stages of Europe ... and beyond.
They are inspired by Balkan and Gypsy music, flamenco, rock or Latino taking us on a journey to the far corners of Europe, to the sounds of unclassifiable, euphoric and moving music.
They play bulerías with a feel of Eastern Europe as well as songs in Serbo-Croatian with a Caribbean twist, in short, they unfurl all kinds of fantasies that make their show a real musical fireworks …
Like a trip to the circus, we’re taken to the edge of reality, we are disoriented by the sound of Mira’s unconventional vocals and settle in an unlikely space beyond ...
