In this video we can see that the maestro from different genre i.e. Gypsy Jazz and Flamenco, battle with each other. These two genres are completely different from one another.
So then what is Gypsy Jazz???
Gypsy Jazz is a genre where the presence of only two acoustic guitars will be enough to pump the audience. Gypsy Jazz was originated in France by guitarist Jean “Django” Reinhardt in the 1930s. Gypsy Jazz is played including one acoustic lead guitar, one acoustic rhythm guitar and one violin. Gypsy Jazz literally replaces the drum because the rhythm guitar uses a special form of strumming known as “la pompe”, i.e. “the pump”. It is what gives the music its fast swinging feeling, as it emphasizes beats two and four; a vital feature of swing.
Likewise, Flamenco is known to people more than the Gypsy Jazz. It was originated in Andalusia.
Flamenco has also the different percussive technique like Gypsy Jazz. The ways the chords are played in Flamenco are simple barre chords whereas barre chords are not likely to be seen in Gypsy Jazz. Standard major and minor chords are almost never played, and are instead replaced by major 7th chords, major 6th chords, and 6/9 chords.
