A really good compilation of their work! (5. Juli 2005)

For the past two decades, The Gipsy Kings have established an enviable international reputation for themselves as purveyors of a unique style of Latin music going on to sell more than 10 million records world-wide. The Gipsy Kings are genuine descendants of the travelling nomads who have been settled in Europe for many centuries. They are descended from flamenco performers who fled the Spanish civil war and crossed over to France and the band were discovered playing at gypsy family gatherings and small clubs in the area. The Gipsy Kings' distinctive and passionate brand of world music has won them the respect and admiration of devoted fans everywhere. Their formula is a successful mix of raw flamenco with Latin American and Arabic influences along with rai and rock. This new collection comprises 20 outstanding tracks from The Gipsy Kings' superb back catalogue including Bamboleo, Volare! and Djobi Djoba evoking a world of Flamenco, sunshine and high emotion. Also included is a Spanish version of Hotel California (from the movie soundtrack to 'The Big Lebowski').
