World music superstars put a contemporary twist on traditional flamenco music with sizzling hits like “Djobi Djoba,” “Bamboleo,” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
- Gipsy Kings began their stellar careers with strict flamenco music, later adding passionate influences from the Middle East, Latin America, and North Africa.
- The band is comprised of 2 groups of brothers from the Baliardos family and the Reyes family, who are brothers and sons of legendary flamenco artist Jose Reyes.
- The ensemble’s infectious music has appeared on many television shows including Saturday Night Live, Dancing with the Stars, as well as soundtracks to The Big Lebowski and Toy Story 3.
- “You cannot go wrong with the Gipsy Kings. Their superlative, near-telepathic musical interplay never fails to produce precise, driving rhythms and wrenchingly soulful balladry.”—Billboard
