JALEO REAL

Reggae / Acoustic / World

Barcelona, Spain

Billboard



Jaleo Real comes from the suburbs of Barcelona. Their music plays with elements of reggae, rumba, tango, flamenco, Cuban son and hip-hop. The true urban mestizo, the real rumba callejera full of joy and energy! Contagious...

Jaleo Real is born in Barcelona by 2002, bringing up the real neighborhood's spirit together with the wide experience of it's members. Jaleo Real's sounds includes Reggae, Cuban son, Tango,...but always flowing into the vigorous energy of street Rumba.

Their lyrics are a Hymn to the popular aspects of everyday life and the pleasures in it.

The group is made of two lead vocals, one Spanish guitar, one flamenco guitar, bass and cajon flamenco. Their shows are a huge party or as they like to say, A Passtime of Rhythm.

During autumn 2002 they've recorded their first album entitled Al Pescado with the aim of showing their style all around, only with this between hands they started a great adventure of shows around Catalonia, northern Spain and two European tours (Switzerland, Austria and Germany) with over 200 shows.

Now they are presenting Pichica their own first production album made up of twelve songs and a lot of accumulated happiness. In this cd, some old members (now in Barcelona's group La Kinky Beat) collaborated as well as Madgit, guitarist of the legendary group Radio Bemba.

Biographie

Un mélange explosif de rumba catalane, de flamenco, de reggae acoustique arrosé d'accents cubains, d'envolées de rock gitan et de clins d'oeil au tango ! Les cinq catalans de Jaleo Real accordent guitares espagnole et flamenca, basse, flûte, percussions, chants et choeur dans une musique novatrice, énergique et très festive !
Cette bouillonnante formation barcelonaise, aux paroles engagées, investit la scène avec un punch endiablé. Contagieux !


La formation nait en 2002 à Barcelone. Jaleo Real se fait tout de suite remarquer par son mélange du son le plus pur, le plus traditionnel, enraciné dans les quartiers de la ville et les apports personnels de chaque membre du groupe. Reggae, son cubain, tango, charleston ou bossanova sont très présents mais la vigueur du son de la rue, la rumba, est toujours la plus forte. Les paroles sont un chant à la quotidienneté en revendiquant le populaire et les menus plaisirs de la vie. Leurs prestations sont de véritables fêtes du quotidien, ou, comme eux-même le disent, "un passe-temps rythmique".

Très vite une première maquette voit le jour et une série de 200 concerts les mènera de Catalogne à l'Allemagne en passant par la France, la Suisse et l'Autriche.
Aujourd'hui ils présentent leur premier album Pichica, où nous retrouvons des amis comme Madgit, le guitariste du légendaire Radio Bemba et d'anciens membres du groupe, jouant maintenant avec La Kinky Beat.
