GIPSY KINGS
"Bamboleo", "Volare" are just a few of Gipsy Kings' hits. Now for most Japanese the sound of Gipsy Kings automatically bring irresistible thirst for beer (It's used for a commercial film), but they are not only that! This is a great opportunity to know more about their "rumba flamenca"! Their best album of 2 CDs was just released last
autumn.
