Gipsy Rufina

Room

About

Born and raised in between the Appennini mountains in the center of Italy , Gipsy Rufina desired to see what was beyond the mountains.

Over the mountains was Rome, where Gipsy played in different bands in the 90s Punk-HardCore scene like Redemption and The Bloodmakers.

Soon Rome became too small.

And 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, ‘Gipsy’s Broke’ and  started travelling with his music.

In 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'am, Kiel Grove, Scott H Biram , Slim Cessna, Joe Buck Yourself, Rev. Beatman just to name a few.
