Savor Flamenco

25 years ago Gipsy Kings created music history with tracks like “Volare”& “Bambaleo” and that addictive “palmas” or rapid clapping.They popularized “Rumba Flamenca” music, which is their signature music. After many years, they are back with a new album“Savor Flamenco,” that combines Latin American influences, esp from Brazil. They manage to recreate some of their early magic to an extent.You simply cannot miss the vocals of Nicholas Reyes, the lead vocalist, who has a certain quality that is hard to imitate or the excellent Tonnino Baliardo on the lead guitar.

The CD combines different musical influences from Spain, France, Middle East & of course there is that tribute to Django Rheihardt, who was a Romani just like the members of Gipsy Kings.
