Half of Willie and Lobo (the left half, in this particular picture), Royal plays a smooth, rhythmic spanish style on acoustic (but amplified and tweaked) violin that nicely complements Lobo's flamenco guitar. Their first album, Gypsy Boogaloo, won a Grammy in the World music category. I've seen them live 3 times now here in Seattle, and enjoy it every time.
Here are samples from Gypsy Boogaloo and Fandango Nights, respectively:
Amsterdam (.AIFF format, 330K, 29 second clip)
Fandango Nights (.AIFF format, 413K, 35 second clip)
