GIPSY KINGS
featuring
NICOLAS REYES and TONINO BALIARDO
†
Ravinia debut
GIPSY KINGS
Comprising two families of Romani heritage,
the Gipsy Kings have stood among the top
world-albums artists since their eponymous
debut album was released in
.
e group
plays the trademark “rumba amenco” style of
its Spanish
Gitano
background, combining the
vigorous guitar work of Tonino Baliardo and the
passionate vocals of Nicolas Reyes, sung entirely
in their native dialect. In fact, the Gipsy Kings
are the next generation of a famed amenco
duo: singer José Reyes, father of Nicolas and
the Reyes brothers; and guitarist Manitas de
Plata, father of Tonino and the Baliardo broth-
ers. Hailing from Arles and Montpelier in the
south of France, the group got its start playing
traditional music around their settlements and
traveling to play weddings, festivals and par-
ties. With its wanderlust, the Gipsy Kings took
on elements of contemporary pop sounds, and
soon found themselves with two international
hit songs, “Bamboleo” and “Djobi Djoba,” and
a platinum debut record. Further albums—in-
cluding

Love &
Liberté
(
),

( ),
Cantos de

Volare!
e Very Best of the
Gipsy Kings
(
)—have provided a steady
stream of hits to
Billboard
’s world albums, Lat-
in, and pop charts and have sold over million
copies worldwide.
Tierra Gitana
was also the ti-
tle of a
PBS documentary that explored the
band’s roots in the gypsy culture and its musical
heritage, lming the group in concert in Arles,
France.
e Gipsy Kings’
Grammy-nom-
inated album
Roots
marked an acoustic revital-
ization of their music, resonating closely with its
amenco roots, while the group’s most recent
album,
Grammy winner
Savor Flamenco
,
married Brazilian folk and pop forms with its
own ery idiom.
irty years a er it rst ap-
peared, “Bamboleo” found further audiences on
the soundtrack to the
animated lm

Kings return tonight for their ninth season as
