Gipsy Kings by André Reyes

A concert by Gipsy Kings by André Reyes at the London Palladium, presented on this visit to London.

Gipsy Kings are a Catalan-Gypsy rumba and flamenco-pop group formed in the south of France in the 1970s, whose best-known songs include Bamboleo and Djobi Djoba. The group draws on the rumba catalana tradition of the Gypsy families of Perpignan and Arles, and their guitar-led sound has been widely associated with the Spanish flamenco and Latin pop scenes. The name André Reyes is given here alongside the group's title, and this concert is presented under that combined billing.

The London Palladium is a theatre on Argyll Street in London's West End, known mainly for its large-scale shows and concerts. The venue's summary describes it as a place that hosts concerts and shows in London, and it is a seated theatre hall rather than a club setting, so the evening suits those who want to hear the group's rumba and flamenco-inflected songs in a traditional auditorium.
