Gipsy Kings at McAllen Performing Arts Center

Since the '70s, the Reyes Brothers and their cousin Tonino Baliardo teamed up to make their Spanish-rooted flamenco passion known across the world. Starting out as a gypsy band that traveled around France playing at weddings, festivals, and busking on streets, they soon gained massive attention with the release of their self-titled third studio record, marking themselves as the "Gipsy Kings".

This time around, Nicholas Reyes and Tonino Baliardo are still in the game! Responsible for bringing pop-oriented flamenco, pop, and Latin rhythms to a global audience, the band is currently on its newest "Renaissance" Tour in support of its latest release. From dominating the scene in the late '80s with its hit singles "Djobi Djoba", "Bamboléo", and the ballad "Un Amor" spending 40 weeks as an album in the US charts, their influence continues to make a great impact to this date.

In a feature written by V13, Gipsy Kings' music is described as "a refreshing gust of wind in a stale room, a captivating mix of Catalan rumba, flamenco, salsa, and pop that defied categorization and left listeners craving for more," With thirty rich years of reviving their Latin roots, they're definitely a band whose impact in culture and heritage remains greatly appreciated.

Extending their mission of reviving flamenco into the modern age, they're set to play their biggest hits, crowd-favorites, and new music in the Renaissance run. "Over the years we have played America and made many friends on our journey there. We will be playing all the favourites and some new songs as well," Baliardo shared in a statement. "Of course, it will be a wonderful fiesta."

As the fiesta calls its community of Latin music fans, Gipsy Kings and Tony Baliardo are leading this year's biggest party. Evoking a spirit of celebration and tradition in its infectious sonic blessings, no band compares to the Kings' talent and dedication.

In a concert review by DH News, "it was a set to be remembered, and had an infectious energy that would carry the audience members throughout the remainder of the evening," its editor shared. "Not to be missed, The Gipsy Kings are definitely a band best experienced live."
