Rich, dynamic music with bouncy rhythms and joyful, passionate choruses. Unlike the Gypsy Kings, Energpisy combine Spanish flamenco guitar and Catalan rumba with a various other (blues, Europop, rock...) influences, leading to a style that might offend purists of neuvo flamenco, but does pretty well for the rest of us. All tracks have male vox (lead + chorus) unless otherwise noted.
