About
Magypss is a flamenco band for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Gypsy, rumba and flamenco played by musicians trained inside the Gypsy Kings tradition, with the touring history to match across France, Belgium and Spain. The sound is guitar-driven and vocal-led, warm and Mediterranean, and the point of it is to pull a crowd in rather than sit politely in the background. Sydney is the base, though the bulk of the players are still in France, so the practical answer for most bookings here is the small format: three musicians minimum, guitar and vocals, an acoustic set that suits bars, restaurants and private events. The full band is available on request. Repertoire covers Spanish rumba, flamenco and Latin and French acoustic material, classic covers alongside their own interpretations. A small stage and a basic PA are preferred, though they'll adapt to the venue.
The show
Gypsy, rumba and flamenco played by musicians trained inside the Gypsy Kings tradition, and the touring behind it runs through France, Belgium and Spain. Guitar drives it, vocals sit on top, and the whole thing is warm rather than polite. This is not background music that sits in a corner. It's built to pull a room in, and by the second or third song people who came to eat are usually watching. Spanish rumba, flamenco, Latin and French acoustic material, classic songs alongside their own interpretations of them.
On the day
A small stage or a defined performance space is needed, since flamenco guitar in the middle of a walkway doesn't work for anyone. A basic sound system is preferred, meaning a PA and microphones, but they'll adapt to whatever the venue actually has rather than making it a condition. Three musicians is the minimum for a booking, guitar and vocals, and that's the format that fits most rooms. Tell them about the space when you enquire and they'll work with it.
Performance options
The small format is three musicians, guitar and vocals, and it's the practical choice for most bookings here since it suits bars, restaurants and private events without needing a big stage. The full band is available on request, which takes more organising because most of the players are still based in France. Set lengths are flexible either way and can be shaped around your running order. There are a cappella moments in the set too, depending on how the performance is built.
