Ouros in Concert January 9, 2010

The Hampshire County Arts Council is pleased to present Ouros, a quartet that infuses great musical composition and songwriting with impeccable musicianship. This bilingual band performs songs in both Spanish and English with rich vocal harmonies and really hot instrumentation. The band-members, being from different parts of the world with influences ranging over four continents, are deeply experienced in multiple genres including flamenco, bluegrass, jazz, Latin, and traditional American and European music. Ouros carefully knits these diverging components into a consistent and original sound, weaving a fabric of infectious rhythms and melodic splendor not to be missed by any music lover.
The group features Bolivian brothers Jose & Cesar Oretea, guitarists/singer/songwriters, along with mutli-instrumentalist/vocalist Danny Knicely and bassist/cellist Ralph Gordon.
This program is presented with sponsorship from FNB Romney and financial assistance from the WV Division of Culture and History, and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval from the WV Commission on the Arts.
