La Zikabilo ~ Fuerza pa vivir

Painter: Hamish Blakely (La Zikabilo ~ Fuerza pa vivir -- correction of .) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was in 1999 that some of the musicians RUTABAGA group wants to initiate a project to address an emerging trend, that of brass bands. Fabien GUILLOTEAU, leader of the group, then proposes to create, alongside RUTABAGA, a new group: THE Zikabilo. As for the musical style, it naturally defines. Firstly because members of RUTABAGA group often had occasion to visit Romania in a gypsy village to conduct musical exchanges with a traditional band, but also due to gypsy origins Fabien Guilloteau. THE Zikabilo then inspired by the music and starts to interpret covers of famous songs. The result is a debut album “The Zikabilo - Volume 1“ released in 2006. ------------------------ We are particularly saddened to announce the death of our friend BARBARO Teuntor GARCIA who died February 2, 2015 after a long illness.
