Artists on the Vengo soundtrack

I was digging through my CD collection, yesterday, and found the soundtrack to Tony Gatlif's movie "Vengo". Some of these tracks are incredible, yet there is very little information out there about the artists. Can anyone here shed some light on who these people are?

Gritos De Guerra, one of my favorite bulerias

Gritos De Guerra, rumba

Remedios Silva Pisa, "Naci En Alamo" (looks like the same musicians in Gritos De Guerra)

A tangos/rumba by La Caita:

The second clip, the rumba, is called Arrinconamela - Where'd the Gritos de Guerra title come from?

"Gritos De Guerra" is the name of the group.

This is the most information I've found about the musicians:

Emilio Fernández appears a lot and also goes by the title "Caracafe".

La Caita is also on one of my favorite movies "latcho drom"

I have not studied rhumba yet because i am busy with other palo, but "Naci en Alamo" is a really nice one

La Paquera de Jerez-Chant de la douleur (siguiriya) is one of my favourite songs
