The Knockout Kings vs. Bruce Ewan

Blues form Spain

The Knockout Kings [Los Reyes del K.O.] have been playing together since 1993 when they were boys in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.  They played almost every blues festival in Spain, sharing the stage with such legends as Chuck Berry, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, Solomon Burke, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, John Mayall, and more. In their blues, which goes from traditional to modern electric, one finds funky beats, soul and even Spanish roots, like their version of "La Paloma."  The Knockout Kings are recipients of the Berlin Blues & Jazz Award.  They are joined by perennial Silver Spring bluesmaster, Bruce Ewan.
