New GK Fan Do I like the CD? YES. I am a new fan of the Gypsy Kings. Would I go see them in concert? YES I give them 5 stars. (although my review only shows 1)I was unable to edit that part!. The Gipsy Kings "Very Best Of..." Lilting lyrics, fast and slow conga rythms with impeccable spanish guitar work. Not a bad song on any of these CDs!! They all bring to mind a sultry evening in some spanish-speaking part of the world. CD#1 of the "The Very Best of. . . " is raucous and fast-paced, while disk #2 is more gentle and relaxing. You will have images of banana and palm trees swaying in the breezes while you relax in some spanish hacienda,cafe or cantina. Break out the premium hand-made cigars and pour up the rum or tequilla!! The Gipsy Kings are an awsome band and will bring any party to life. These CDs are "must-haves" for any serious cigar aficianado!. Too Much of a Good Thing However, it would have worked much better as a single-disc collection. I really enjoy this compilation. OMG this album rocks You can't go wrong. This album opens my heart and makes me feel alive. Spanish Flamenco Meets Salsa Funk. The Gipsy Kings are a Rumba Flamenca group formed from two related families from Arles and Montpellier, France. Listening to the Gipsy Kings is like drinking pastis on a warm Mediterranean evening in the south of France. Their music is a blend of Spanish flamenco, guitar-tapping Latin rhythms, and salsa funk, and their songs involve themes of life, love, and death. We write songs that make pretty girls dance, singer-guitarist Nicolas Reyes says. Other Gipsy King members include Paul Reyes, Canut Reyes, Patchai Reyes, Andre Reyes, Diego Baliardo, Paco Baliardo, Tonino Baliardo, all on vocals and guitars. This two-disc compliation is Definitive Gypsy Kings, including career-spanning songs from their Allegria (1982) album through Cantos de Amor (1998). Tracks include: 1. Volare 3:38 2. Bamboleo 3:23 3.
