Search - Gipsy Kings :: Best

Japanese re-issue pressing of the 1995 album includes 3 bonus tracks TBA. Hailing from the Reyes and Baliardo Gypsy families, this ensemble from the south of France has been playing rumba flamenca since the late 1980s. On this compilation the songwriting talent and virtuosity this unique group possesses were gathered together in one comprehensive CD. Notable inclusions are the anthemic hit 'Bamboleo', from their debut, Gipsy Kings; the slowly emotive 'Trista Pena' the Italian cover 'Volaré', from Mosaïque; and assorted live cuts that wonderfully capture the wild energy these players spark onstage. 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. Sony. 2005.
