The Gipsy Kings are that rare thing - an international household name famous solely for their music. The Gipsy Kings began with two bands of brothers, the Reyes (Nicolas, Canut, Paul, Patchaï, André) and the Baliardos (Tonino, Paco, Diego), and after 25 years is still fronted by the two songwriters and producers Nicolas Reyes and Tonino Baliardo. In 1987 The Gipsy Kings' self-titled debut album introduced the world to "rumba Gitano," the sound of South America's rumba rhythm married to flamenco guitars. With "Bamboleo" The Gipsy Kings scored a huge international hit, and since then the Kings have never stopped singing to the world. Their total album sales worldwide now exceed 18 million.
