Editorial Reviews
Hailing from the Reyes and Baliardo Gypsy families, this ensemble from the south of France has been playing 'rumba flamenca' since the late '80s. On this 20-track collection, the songwriting talent and virtuosity this unique group possesses is gathered together in one comprehensive set. Notable inclusions are the anthemic hit 'Bamboleo', from their debut, Gipsy Kings, the Italian cover 'Volar‚', from Mosa‹que and assorted cuts that wonderfully capture the wild energy these guys possess. In short, the Gipsy Kings are a celebratory bunch who know how to rock with a rhapsody of acoustic guitars, passionate vocals, and walls of congas, timbales, cabasas, and bongos. Check this caravan out. Sony.

Many (and I really do mean MANY) years ago I saw a Pierce Brosnan movie that closed with the song "My Way" done in a Latin American style with some SERIOUSLY impressive guitar work and vocals that (although I don't know the language) would have, and should have, knocked Frank Sinatra right on his can! AND WAIT; there's more! My reaction to and desire for this song led me on a chase that lasted a number of years until I found out the band was the Gipsy Kings and finally got my first CD: "Love & Liberte'" which I have quite literally played into the ground. These guys are AMAZING! Their guitar work (largely acoustic) easily rivals Little Feat (with Lowell George) and would also impress the Eagles (think of the rerelease of "Hotel California" where at one point it sounds like at least 6 total 6 and 12 string guitars are at the crossroads playing for their lives. YES, the Gipsy Kings are that good. Don't make the mistake of getting hung-up on the language difference (if there is one). GET HOOKED ON THE MUSIC!
I defy anyone to listen to this CD and not find more that just a few things to love about it..... I find new ones every time I listen to anything they've done.

I chose this CD to expand my GK collection and was disappointed. Many of the cuts can be found on Mosaique and I wasn't moved by the others. If you're a first-time GK listener or looking to add to your existing collection, buy Mosaique. It is an excellent representation of the remarkable work of this group.

This is a great introduction / overview of the music of the Gipsy Kings. If you like this disk, you will want to consider looking further into their work.

a major hit
I bought this CD for my hip but picky 68-year-old brother. He was skeptical at first, but soon he was singing cuts from the CD, and then later he told me he planned to make copies... Read more

Poorly done!
Nothing but a commercialized grouping of so-called "hits." The recording itself is poorly done with little thought to overall sonic quality.

Great Album
This is a great album to listen to. I have heard their songs ever since I was a teen living in the UK. This mix is good for novices and regular Gypsy Kings listeners. Read more

I saw the Gipsy Kings in St. Louis, Mo very recently and were disappointed they didn't have any cd's for sale. I immediately went on Amazon. Read more
