Gipsy Kings

The Gipsy Kings are a group of French Roma (gypsy) musicians, best known for bringing rhumba flamenca, a pop-oriented version of traditional flamenco music, to mainstream audiences.

They became popular with their debut album self titled Gipsy Kings, which included the songs "Djobi Djoba", "Bamboleo" and "Un Amor" The song "Volare" on their third album Mosaique is a rhumba version of domenico Modugno's Italian hit "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu". The Gipsy Kings were were enormously popular in France despite harsh criticism from flamenco purists. Gipsy Kings was successful throughout the continent, especially France and England. In 1989, Gipsy Kings was released in the US and it spent 40 weeks on the charts, one of very few Spanish language albums to do so.

Their albums include Gipsy Kings, Estrellas, Mosaique, Love & Liberte, Compas, Este Mundo, Somos Gitanos and Roots.
