Gipsy Kings in Forges-les-Eaux

Gipsy Kings are a French group formed by musicians from the Reyes and Baliardo families, whose Spanish Romani roots shape their guitar-led rumba flamenca and pop. Their self-titled album established songs including “Bamboléo,” “Djobi Djoba” and “Bem, Bem, María,” while their version of “Volare” became another signature recording. Gipsy Kings played the Royal Albert Hall, and their later open-air concert at Kenwood House in London was filmed and released as Live at Kenwood House. The group performs as an ensemble of acoustic guitarists and singers, supported by handclaps and percussion. “Bamboléo” and “Volare” are longstanding parts of Gipsy Kings concert sets.
