Gipsy Kings by André Reyes in Bristol

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 concert features André Reyes, a member of the original Reyes family that formed the core of the band. Attendees can expect an evening of passionate guitar work and rhythmic vocals, performing classics that have been featured in films like *The Big Lebowski* and *Toy Story 3*. The atmosphere will be lively, celebrating the group's decades-long legacy of cross-cultural musical fusion.
