Jaleo Real comes from the suburbs of Barcelona. One of the most known street rumba and Barcelona mestizo sound ,Jaleo Real was born in early 2002, playing a suburb style with new flavors. They play a shakin' mixture of reggae,flamenco, hip-hop, bossa, latin tops, and very spectacular drum&bass tracks, always to flow in what they call Combat Rumba. The sound of suburb pioneers with new view. This is the sound of these urban pioneers who sing about daily life in simple terms, but with a musical repertoire that soars.
This Barcelona quintet has shown their first work, “Pichica” (Ventilador music 2004), burning the stages around the world, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Pakistan, Quebec, Chile and India.
“Perhaps most promising of all, a sort of purist rumbero backlash against the recent mestiza
overload has just developed. Calling it neocalorrismo (neo-Gypsydom), the movement is led by
the artists Jaleo Real, and Diego Paqué and it has disinterred its own patriarch,
Tony el Gitano.”
