TIERRA NEGRA


BIO:
TIERRA NEGRA - flamenco nuevo TIERRA NEGRA, Germany's most successful guitar duo belongs to the protagonists of Flamenco Nuevo worldwide. Since their discovery in 1997 in Montréal, Canada, and the record contract that followed, guitar virtuosos Leo Henrichs and Raughi Ebert have produced a total of eight CDs. Their compositions are featured on many international guitar compilations, in movies and documentaries. Numerous concert tours brought TIERRA NEGRA all over Europe, and to festivals and clubs in Canada and Arizona. They have worked on stage together with artists like Stanley Jordan, Muriel Anderson, Peppino D`Agostino, Bob Brozman, Ramachandra Borcar and many others. TIERRA NEGRA creates a unique combination of folklore, jazz and pop elements in their music, without losing the thread to the Rumba-Flamenco tradition of the Camargue and Spain. There is persuasiveness in the rhythm and melody of the duos songs - the infectious groove of the accompanying guitar may sometimes steal the melody from the lead guitar but never its place at the fore of the compositions. TIERRA NEGRA always manage to project their own enthusiasm for Flamenco Nuevo straight to their audiences, leaving them in a state of amazement and fascination by the end of every concert. In addition to being topnotch players, Raughi and Leo are into the craft of instrument designing. In conjunction with a top luthier in Spain they are producing a line of guitars that bear their own brand name, TIERRA NEGRA. These are high-end, professional quality flamenco guitars. The Gipsy Kings discovered TIERRA NEGRA guitars, and Raughi and Leo designed a special model for them, the TIERRA NEGRA - GK. Now the Gipsy Kings play TIERRA NEGRA guitars worldwide exclusively.
