	RFI Musique - - GIPSY KINGS
		The origin of the Gipsy Kings lies in the picturesque town of Arles in the South of France.
		By this stage in their career the Gipsy Kings had become international mega-stars and in the summer of 1990 they were invited to fly out to Moscow where they performed a series of triumphant concerts to capacity audiences.
		Shortly after their arrival in St André de Bueges the Gipsy Kings got down to work on a new album entitled "Roots." The album, as the name suggests, was a largely acoustic affair, a million miles away from the synthesisers and rock and electro experimentations the group had tried out in recent years.

	Gipsy Kings give unforgettable performance at Greek theatre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Gipsy Kings were more than the musical entertainment at the Greek Theatre on Thursday; they were the emcees to a party a few thousand strong.
		The Gipsy Kings' melodies and harmonies are instantly recognizable and likeable, unlike many good bands, and only the slowest of them are not conducive to some serious shimmying.
		But, once again, the Gipsy Kings proved they have earned their status as the kings of Latin music, a title eagerly given them by their more-than-satisfied fans.

		Since 1989, when the single "Bamboleo" and their Gipsy Kings album broke through and went gold in the United States, they've found a willing audience in America for their style, which, while flashy, doesn't demand a great deal of the listener, unlike more hardcore versions of flamenco.
		The triumph of the Gipsy Kings is revealed most vividly through their charts, awards, reviews, and sold-out appearances.
		Still, the exotic appeal of the Gipsy Kings' sound, stemming from their unique ethnic background-a mixture of Spanish, French and North African influences-which is at the heart of their success.

	gipsy-kings Mp3 Albums Review
		In short, the Gipsy Kings are a celebratory bunch who know how to rock with a rhapsody of acoustic guitars, passionate vocals, and walls of congas, timbales, cabasas, and bongos.
		The Gipsy Kings are never going to have the kind of critical acclaim that Paco de Lucia has, but their popularization of poppy rumba flamenca among non-Spanish speakers is nothing to be ashamed of.
		This CD will undoubtedly bring running all the barking dogs that cry out "The Gipsy Kings are not Flamenco!" However, the dogs may find themselves sitting quietly and listening, for while this is not the sort of music which will wring cries of "Puro Gitano!" from serious Flamenco fans, it is nonetheless very good music.

	Unconventional Gipsy Kings return to roots on new album
		Seven swarthy, wide-bodied guys with their shirttails hanging out might not be capable of conjuring up an international phenomenon, but France's Gipsy Kings delight in flouting conventions.
		Over their 20-year career, the Kings have revitalized a centuries-old tradition through their trademark brand of "rumba flamenco," which fuses elements of rock, jazz, blues and other Latin strains.
		"Gipsy Kings" (1988), the band's debut effort, which introduced the hit "Bamboleo," still holds the record for the best-selling world music album of all time.

		The Gipsy Kings - composed of Canut, Nicolas, Andre, Pablo, and Patchai Reyes and Diego, Paco, and Tonino Baliardo, learned this music from their native Catalan Spanish heritage (their grandparents left Spain for France during the Franco years).

		The current Los Reyes are a group formed from cousins of the Gipsy Kings: Antonico Reyes, Mario Reyes and Toni Reyes are the consistent members on all four CDs (see recommended).

	Nicolas Reyes talks about the Gipsy Kings
		The Gipsy Kings are members of a minority that has been persecuted for centuries, so it is ironic that they should now find themselves under fire for a perceived lack of authenticity.
		Nicolas explains, "'Gipsy Kings' means in Spanish 'Los Gitanos Reyes' which is a combination of our family name and the tribe's name." The current incarnation of the group was forged when the four Reyes brothers (Pablo, Nicolas, Patchai and Canute) re-encountered their Baliardo cousins (Tonino, Diego and Paco) at Saintes Marie de la Mer.
		Even though the Gipsy Kings are worshipped all over the globe the past travails of his people, which peaked when the Nazis rounded up, incarcerated and murdered an estimated half million Gypsies, still haunt Nicolas Reyes.

		Though the group's members aren't technically "gipsies" (they acquired the name during their early days of traveling, gigging, and playing in the streets of Southern France), their music draws heavily from gipsy and flamenco traditions in content and style.

		The Gipsy Kings, originally from southern France with family roots in the flamenco tradition, have achieved enormous mainstream success with their flamenco-pop.
