Francisco's Mission District dedicated to performing folk music from around the
world. Mixing rich vocal harmonies with acoustic instruments including guitar,
fiddle, charango, cajon, and bass, the band's inspirations range from Peruvian
chicha to Catalan rumba and Appalachian old time to cumbia.
Barrio Manouche is an acoustic San Francisco-Based International
Septet (Spain, Quebec, France, Brazil and California), playing music that will
take you on a magical journey, frequently joined by artist from all over the
globe. The band's latest collaborations include Flamenco dancers Bianca

concerts, innovative style, complex technique, and their passion for their
musical improvisation.
The band performs a repertoire of original, mostly
instrumental compositions with a unique sound that it’s difficult to classify
but instantly recognizable, deeply influenced by a range of musical traditions,
from the swing of Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet, to the Hot Jazz of Django
Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, the Gypsy soul of Eastern Europe, the Nuevo
Flamenco of Paco de Lucía and Camarón de la Isla to the Avant-Garde sounds of
Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane.
