Free Music Review: my introduction to the music of the Gipsy Kings.....
Hit: 5 Stars
Hailing originally from Arles and Montpellier, France, the Gipsy Kings bring the music of their parents, who fled Spain and settled in France, during the Spanish Civil War. They are referred to as Cale (Gitano) musicians and are best known for playing Rumba Catalana (a kind of Rumba Flamenca). This beautiful debut album (originally released in 1982) showcases them at their brightest. The guitar work is stunning. I would says the best songs include "Djobi, Djoba," "Papa, No Pega Mama," and "Princessia." The Spanish lyrics are great, but I don't want to give it away! Though, I am not fluent, I got the gist of the romance and intensity they convey here. You definitely don't need to speak Spanish to enjoy the music! I guarantee you'll get lost in the beauty and brilliance of their instrumental intros and haunting vocals. It's as if they are sitting right under your window, in the moonlit evening, serenading you.

I attended the GK concert in LA last weekend and was a bit disappointed....mainly because of the presence of unexpected instruments like regular drums, keyboard, electric bass guitar, etc. The past few concerts I had been to were ALL ACOUSTIC GUITAR and VOCALS, which is what I love about the GK. So I came to Amazon and bought this CD on a whim, hoping it would remind me what the GK are all about. This is a refreshing reminder. What an amazing display of acoustic guitar and vocals. I love this CD and haven't stopped listening to it since it arrived.Free Music Review: AWESOME

Hit: 5 Stars
The Gypsy Kings are one of my favorite bands and "Allegria" is my favorite of their CDs. Even though I don't understand most of the Spanish lyrics, the emotion comes through. The music is fun, sexy and passionate. It makes me feel like dancing, even if I'm just singing along while I clean the house.Free Music Review: fun
