Biography

Edit

The Gipsy Kings are a band of musicians from the Catalan region in the south of France. Their roots are steeped in the Romany tradition and they demonstrate a love of Rumba Catalana - a love which they have brought to a more mainstream audience.

The band comprises members of two families, the Reyes and the Baliardios, who began singing together as they grew up. They released their first album Gipsy Kings in 1989 and followed it up with Mosaique. Between them, the two albums produced hit singles "Bamboleo" and "Volare". The cover version of The Eagles' "Hotel California" was later used in The Big Lebowski. 1993's Love and Liberté earned a Latin Grammy Award for "Best Pop Album of the Year".

The Gipsy Kings have been incredibly successful, selling in excess of 18 million albums worldwide, and they remain France's best-selling musical group.
