Latin American beats had been joined with flamenco by gitanos since at least the 1950s, mixing complex strumming with rhythmic, percussive tapping on their guitars' tops. The new Reyes generation — soon to meet and join up with three guitar-playing brothers from the Baliardo family — began creating more pop-oriented songs. They played at roma parties and at street corners until they got their chance to record under the group's new name, Gipsy Kings.
Sharp-eyed individuals might have noted that all the left-handed members of the group play guitars strung upside-down; this is usually as a result of the individuals' not having their own guitars when growing-up. Borrowing and playing a right-hander's the wrong way up was the only way to learn.
Band's story
They became popular with their self-titled first album, Gipsy Kings, which included the songs "Djobi Djoba ", "Bamboleo " and the romantic ballad "Un Amor". The song "Volare" on their second album Mosaique is a rumba version of Domenico Modugno's Italian hit "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu". The Gipsy Kings were enormously popular in France and throughout Europe along with the middle east. In 1989, Gipsy Kings was released in the United States and it spent 40 weeks on the charts, one of very few Spanish language albums to do so. Their cover version of "Hotel California" is an excellent example of fast flamenco guitar leads and rhythmic strumming (this version was featured in the Coen Brothers' movie The Big Lebowski).
In 1991 the Gipsy Kings provided flamenco guitar and backing vocals on Bananarama's version of "Long Train Running", using the pseudonym "Alma de Noche" ("Soul of the Night"). Also in '91, for a multi-artist project called "Simply Mad About the Mouse" — a compilation of new versions of songs from Disney films — the Kings contributed an annaly-crafted, fast-paced rumba flamenca version of "I've Got No Strings" from "Pinocchio" - replete with feverish flamenco guitar leads and rhythmic hand-claps (palmas). The lyrics' enthusiasm for freedom, not being tied down, fit the gipsy creed perfectly.
Their 1993 album "Love and Liberte" won the Latin Grammy Award for "Best Pop Album of the Year," and contained the enduring song "Montana," an emotional account of Roma chased from their birthplace by prejudice and persecution.
The '95 compilation "The Best of the Gipsy Kings" went platinum, staying on the charts more than one year. Albums "Mosaïque," "Allegria," "Este Mundo," "Gipsy Kings Live," "Love & Liberte," "Tierra Gitana," "Cantos de Amor" and "Volare! - the Very Best of the Gipsy Kings" went gold.
Lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo — who has always written the group's instrumentals — released his first solo album, Essences, in 2001; a second self-titled one followed in 2003.
Flamenco purists criticized their use of drum kits, electronic bass, and electronic keyboards and rock and reggae beats. Defenders say they helped create a new style.
Gipsy Kings' total album sales worldwide now exceed 18 million; they toured worldwide again in 2007. They are the world's best-selling music group from France in history, according to their website, where dates and places of their current tour can be found.
Years active: from 1987 till present.

Que hermosa cancion... Me inspiro a escribir esto
Con el corazón en el ayer
El recordar ,me trajo la luna
La misma cuando la trepábamos, los dos
Como con fuerzas inimaginables
Recuerdas aquellas noches con magia
Pareciera mentira
Pero es como ir en un sueño a través del tiempo
Con una melodía de mi recuerdo.
Cuando los minutos eran infinitos
Cuando me sentía el rey del mundo
Cuando tus ojos me miraban
Y mi corazón se proclamaba
Quiero saber
Lo que hay mas alla de tu pensar
Si en esas noches antes de dormirte
Sueñas un instante en mi.
O si en el mar de la noche antes de dormirte
Ves a una estrella que me recuerda a ti
La que mas brilla como cuando me buscas con tu mirar
Entre las multitudes y me encuentras a mi.
Soy parte de tus lagrimas y alegrias,
Mas risas que te cantaban
Las miles de cosas que esperaban
En el nombre de nuestros amores.

I am from Amsterdam and remember i was 17 when I worked on Ibiza in a club! Housemusic was just starting...I loved it, but hearing the Gypsy kings was more to me, made me emotional....when music talks!! And still today, the Gypsy kings touching me in the deepest of my soul. One of my favorite albums to play at home and dance, smile or clean my house on. Thanks beautiful Gypsy Kings, for all you gave me and still do❤️❤️😊💥
