Gipsy Kings Concert Tickets

Gipsy Kings is a music group from Arles and Montpellier, France. They explained the evolution of their sound in the 1996 PBS documentary of their lives and music "Tierra Gitana (Gipsy Land)". Young brothers Nicolas, Canut and Paul Reyes accompanied their father, famed flamenco singer Jose Reyes, who started out singing "cante jondo" (deep chant), traditional flamenco with long-running themes of passion, love, death, etc. Check our available Gipsy Kings concert ticket inventory and get your tickets here at ConcertBank now.

With "Roots," the Gipsy Kings' first album for world-music label Nonesuch since 1996, the eight-piece flamenco group once again reasserts itself as one of pop music's most precious acts. Many of the tracks on this all-acoustic album recall the band's finest music, particularly stuff off their self-titled debut...

Sound: Spanish (well Catalonian, based in France, so what I imagine traditional spanish music to be). Layers and layers of sweeping classical spanish guitar (sometimes as many as 7), husky, rasping vocals, the occasional accordian or horn and hand claps galore. A dense, fast paced and vibrant sound that's musical, soulful and alive. // 8 Lyrics and Singing: As a total non speaker of Catalonian/ Spanish, the words could be anything...

If they hadn't covered "My Way," maybe the one-worlder in me would adjust his horizons to embrace flamenco guitar and let the rest pass. But there it is, and don't riposte indignantly that "My Way" is a French song--that's the point. Their florid Andalusian emotionalism is Europop's cornball showbiz alternative to soul. I'll take Al Jolson, who invented something.

On their first two Stateside releases, this six-man troupe from the south of France merged dazzling flamenco guitar with synthesizers and a rock backbeat to create a style that was novel, virtuosic, pleasant, and slightly brain-dead...

This surprise 1989 smash introduced the world to the Gipsy Kings' signature rumba gitana, a hybrid sound that combined guitar-driven Catalan rumba (a subspecies of flamenco) with gently percolating North African percussion and just a touch of manouche jazz from the French side of the Pyrenees...

After two decades on the road, you'd think this group would simply put another record in the machine and go on tour, but that's definitely not the case here. Sure, the guitar-rich, flamenco sounds are still the Kings' dominant mode, but there are quite a few surprises, as the band has sought inspiration in Latin American folk music this time out. Of particular interest to longtime fans and neophytes alike are the acoustic reggae-inflected "Pueblos" (which could have been recorded by Maná), and ...

Be forewarned: from its first propulsive beats, Gipsy Kings will put a spell on you. An authentic band of Gypsies from the south of France, these relatives of the renowned Gypsy singer José Reyes will steal you away on their seven-man guitar caravan to a freewheeling kingdom of Gypsy rock. It's a boundless realm where Spanish flamenco and Romany rhapsody meet salsa funk, by way of Morocco and the Middle East, and where hot-blooded passion reigns supreme.The Gipsy Kings offer a king's ransom of ...
