Gipsy Kings by André Reyes in Cambridge

The Gipsy Kings, founded in 1979 in Arles, France, are renowned for their blend of Catalan rumba, flamenco, salsa, and pop. The group, whose members have Catalan heritage and are mostly of Spanish Romani descent, brought rumba flamenca to a worldwide audience with hits like "Bamboléo" and "Djobi Djoba." Their self-titled 1987 album spent forty weeks on the US charts, a rare feat for a Spanish-language record.

This special performance features André Reyes, son of original member José Reyes, carrying forward the family legacy. Audiences can expect an evening of passionate guitar work, rhythmic handclaps, and soaring vocals in Spanish and Catalan, capturing the spirit of the band's iconic sound. The concert promises the energy and joy that have made the Gipsy Kings a global phenomenon.
