The long anticipated live album with an international all star line up of musicians and dancers has come to fruition with an added live multi camera DVD. Their tight and diverse rhythms can best be described as Rumba Flamenca, Mediterranean & Latin.

San Francisco, CA - Fans of all walks of life, at every show ask, “what album is that song on?” “When will it be released?” Songs like 'Marina' by Rocco Granata, 'Parla Piu Piano' (from the movie 'Godfather' by Nino Rotta), Cumbanchero (Rafael Hernandez) and Cancion del Mariachi (from the movie 'Desperado' by Cesar Rosas) have long been anticipated.

It has been seven years and four albums since Kaweh released a vocal track. In this live release Kaweh sings in Spanish and Italian and he captivates the audience with his fast rasgueado, his combination of picado and western picking and his sweet melodies, which people whistle and hum after the concert.

Internationally acclaimed Belly Dancer 'Sandra' and Israely educator percussionist Dror Sinai mesmerize the audience with a one of a kind performance as KAWEH opens up the concert with “Persia” from the “Play Spanish” album. Sandra and Dror return mid set to give yet another powerful mystifying performance on the songs 'Sahhra' and 'Play Spanish' that leave the audience chanting.

The international all star line up of musicians include MACSA Latino Hall of Fame nominee, congero, Edgardo Cambon from Uruguay who gives a fiery performance on 'Cumbanchero' and vocalist / guitarist Kenia Rodriguez from Havana Cuba who sings the group’s new vocal track 'Guajira'. Drummer / percussionist Louie Flores Jr. from Mexico and bassist Mark Kraft from Morgan Hill, together with Kaweh celebrate their 5th year performing together.

Join the full group and various special guest Flamenco dancers as they release this exciting long awaited album. 'KAWEH Live In San Francisco' is scheduled for release in August 2008.
