About Us
Arrebato Ensemble, led by flamenco guitarist Greg Alfonzetti, are a diverse group of talented musicians who have worked together to develop original music with contemporary flamenco as the compositional and rhythmic driving force. This collaboration has created a passionately moving style of music with an intensely international flavour and appeal to many audiences from the flamenco aficionado to jazz and world music fans.
Their debut CD and their performances have received significant critical acclaim across the board . Prominent Music Critic and Reviewer, John Shand wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald that their music "moves from pure flamenco in favour of a more contemporary style, the spirit, a dramatic, sexually charged and haughty sadness remains in tact." The Ensemble was voted Best World Music Artist at the 2008 MusicOz Awards.

Greg Alfonzetti (flamenco guitar/composer)
Damian de Boos-Smith(cello/guitar/mandolin/oud/composer)
