Gipsy Kings at the Opera House
The Gipsy Kings are here to celebrate their 25th anniversary in their very own, blistering tradition – taking audiences back to the south of France on a ride through party-start guitars and booming Spanish vocals in their Opera House debut.
The Gipsy Kings, born in France but brought up with Spanish culture, are largely responsible for bringing the sounds of progressive pop-oriented flamenco to a world-wide audience. They began playing on the streets of Cannes and St. Tropez and have now broken world music barriers as one of the rare groups breaking the US and World music charts.
The band have had great success, winning two Grammys and being featured in the likes of The Big Lebowski, Toy Story 3 and Glee. The band has embraced western classics by Bob Marley, the Doobie Brothers and The Eagles with globe-hopping grace, whilst also embracing dramatic cues from Brazilian and Caribbean culture.
The Gipsy Kings
The Gipsy Kings are ready to raise the roof of the Concert Hall with dance-ready furore, returning to their groundbreaking eponymous album and the nomadic spirit that has led them to their latest Savor Flamenco – giving audiences the ‘deep shout at the heart of our community’.
