For almost 3 decades Gipsy Rufina rolled and rambled around playing thousands of shows across Europe, Estern countries , USA and South America, daring sometimes places where few others did. Hoboing in a pure outlaw troubadur spirit he constantly toured from 2005, picking down the lines of his narrative, coming from his life and travels and infinite adventures across the globe.<\/h5>\n

BIO<\/h3>\n

Born and raised in between the Appennini mountains in the center of Italy , Gipsy Rufina desired to see what was beyond the mountains.
\nOver the mountains was Rome, where Gipsy played in different bands in the 90s Punk-HardCore scene like Redemption and The Bloodmakers.
\nSoon Rome became too small.
\nAnd he wanted to see what was over the ocean.Once over ocean it made sense to cross the US on the Greyhound for months and start to write songs in Chicago strumming an acoustic guitar, which he bought for ten bucks. In 2004,ending up in Koeln,Germany he started playing gigs opening for his friends,local heroes, the Cowboys On Dope. While still working on the ships, going back and forth from Brasil or from Thaiti stoned with Pakalolo, British Virgin Islands filled with pure cane juice..Then in 2004\/2005, Gipsy recorded his first 4 songs demo of acoustic ballads with a four tracks Tascam cassette recorder, \u2018Gipsy\u2019s Broke\u2019 and started travelling with his music.
\nIn the following years different Records were released and Gipsy kept Touring intensively performing countless shows all around sharing stages with thousands of other musicians like Pentagram String Band, Yes Ma\u2019am, Kiel Grove, Scott H Biram , Slim Cessna, Joe Buck Yourself, Rev. Beatman just to name a few.<\/h5>\n
