Wild gypsy fire mixed with rumba flamenca. Los Chanelas thrills its audience with a colourful blend of rumba, flamenca, and crazy Latin rhythms.

Chanela is a gypsy slang word for “celebration” - an appropriate description of the group’s music. Rumba flamenca, also known as gypsy rumba, is a blend of flamenco with Afro-Cuban rhythms. Flamenco is proud, attitude and serious. Rumba and Latin rhythms are carefree, sensuous and happy. This combination of musical styles makes for an intense, passionate and vigorous experience.

Los Chanelas was originally founded in Buenos Aires, by Miguel Ovejero. Upon arrival in Australia in 1998, Miguel sought an eclectic and culturally diverse group of professional musicians, to create the current line up of Los Chanelas. With the perfect combination of talent, experience and passion, Los Chanelas provides entertainment of a high standard through excellent musicianship.

Combined, the musicians have over 100 years experience with collective backgrounds of rumba, flamenco, Latin, African and middle eastern percussion, bossa nova and jazz.

Los Chanelas' influence comes from the gypsy music of Spain, Southern France, and the Balkan Regions, covering songs and music from Jose Reyes, the Gypsy Kings, Los Chunguitos and more.

With nine years experience playing at local and national festivals, private and corporate functions, restaurants and cafes, dance venues and bars, the band has an extensive repertoire to meet the needs and requirements of the client.

The band is based in Melbourne. The line up(s) available are: solo, duo, trio, quartet, and 5 piece.
