5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTICO!, February 7, 2000

This is Flamenco at its best. The Gipsy Kings(known as Los Reyes in Spain, and are actually French) are such masters at capturing all the beauty and angst the tradition of Flamenco has to offer. Nicolas Reyes' voice is so unique and powerful and the Baliardos brothers are guitar virtuosos. Some of my favorites include: "Caminando Por La Calle," one of my favorites of all time, "Viento Del Arena," with a real Gypsy feel to it, and the emotionally charged "Trista Pena," which still brings tears to mis ojos. It doesn't matter whether you understand Spanish or not, music trancends all languages. Just enjoy the wonderful vibes...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of them all, March 26, 2003

This review is from: Mosaique (Audio CD)

I own seven Gipsy Kings CDs (including this one), and this one has to be my #1 favorite. The songs on here can stick in my head for hours. Probably my favorite track is "El Camino", but they are all fantastic.

If you are just starting to listen to the Gipsy Kings, this CD should be one of the first ones you buy. The songs don't seem to be as traditional as the ones on other disks, but they are all very very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raw rythmn and emotion, September 16, 1998

By

The first track is an excellent example of the power, passion and emotion that Nicolas Reyes can transpose through his voice.Tonio Baliardo is truly an extraordinary talent on lead guitar. This is a band with honesty and passion. Their rythmns are incredibly satisfying.Put your head between two speakers, listen closely, close your eyes, and prepare to be taken away.
