Barrio Manouche
Event WebsiteAbout
Founded by the Spanish guitarist and composer Javi Jiménez, the group consists of a singular musical body that combines the instrumentation and signature of Jazz Manouche, Modern Jazz, Flamenco and Latin-American rhythms.
Based in San Francisco, CA the acoustic ensemble performs a repertoire of original compositions with an emotionally charged sound that is difficult to classify but instantly recognizable.
Barrio’s international roots shine brightly in their music with members from Spain, Quebec, Colombia, France, Brazil and the United States. They are deeply influenced by a wide range of musical traditions, and this is how the group’s unique sound is born.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Barrio Manouche’s upbeat soundtrack of Gypsy Jazz, Flamenco, and Brazilian beats is sure to take audiences on an uplifting musical journey when they play the Chapel. Based in San Francisco, the acoustic ensemble was founded by Spanish guitarist Javi Jiménez, who moved to the city years ago and joined forces with artists from Colombia, France, Quebec, Brazil and the U.S. to form a global collective in which each member influences the whole.
