The Gipsy Kings Head to New York and New Jersey

Grammy Award-winning band Gipsy Kings, featuring Nicolas Reyes & Tonino Baliardo, are set to perform two shows in the New York/New Jersey area this fall. The band will perform at the Beacon Theatre on Saturday, September 14 at 8:00PM, taking audiences back to the south of France with flamenco guitars and booming Spanish vocals. Tickets are $80, $90 and $130 (plus applicable fees) and available through Ticketmaster.com or 866-858-0008.

The music continues in Newark, NJ, where John Scher/Metropolitan Entertainment and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center team up to present the Gipsy Kings at NJPAC on Sunday, September 15 at 7:00PM. Tickets are $45, $65, $75, $95 and $125 (plus applicable fees) and available through www.njpac.org or 1-888-GO-NJPAC (1-888-466-5722)

Tickets for both concerts go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 26 at 10:00AM.

"Music has always been a passion," says lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo. "Even after all this time, after all these years of touring and working. It has given us so much. We have matured, we have developed in music, and it has been so good for us."

Melding deep-heated flamenco, rumba, salsa and pop to the tune of 20 million albums sold, the Grammy Award-winning hit-makers behind 'Bamboléo' continue to celebrate in their very own, blistering tradition.

Uniting the family Reyes and the family Baliardo, the band continues a tradition that has drawn famous fans such as Picasso, Cocteau, Dali and Chaplin. From playing on the streets of Cannes and the hedonistic heights of St. Tropez, breaking world music barriers as one of the rare groups to climb the US and World music charts. Featured in the likes of the new animated hit Sing, The Big Lebowski, Toy Story 3 and Glee, the band has embraced western classics by Bob Marley, the Doobie Brothers and The Eagles with globe-hopping grace, whilst also incorporating dramatic cues from Brazilian and Caribbean culture.

Now bringing the party back to the United States, The Gipsy Kings will raise the roof with dance-ready furor, returning to their groundbreaking eponymous album and the nomadic spirit that has led them to their latest Grammy Award-winning project, Savor Flamenco - giving audiences the 'deep shout at the heart of our community'.
