Gipsy Kings by André Reyes is a musical project led by André Reyes, one of the original members of the legendary Gipsy Kings. Born into a musical family of Spanish Romani heritage in southern France, André Reyes helped bring rumba flamenca to international audiences, blending traditional Spanish musical influences with Latin rhythms and pop elements.
André Reyes began his musical career alongside members of the Reyes and Baliardo families, who formed the Gipsy Kings. The group achieved international success with the release of the album "Gipsy Kings" in 1987, featuring signature songs such as "Bamboleo" and "Djobi Djoba". Their repertoire also includes well-known recordings such as "Baila Me", "Volare" and "Un Amor", which helped introduce flamenco-rumba music to audiences around the world.
Following his years with the original group, André Reyes continued his musical career through Gipsy Kings by André Reyes, bringing together family members and musicians dedicated to preserving the group's musical heritage. The band performs classic Gipsy Kings songs while also developing its own recorded material, including the 2022 album "Nací Gitano".
The Gipsy Kings' musical legacy includes internationally successful albums and major industry recognition, including a Grammy Award for the album "Savor Flamenco" in 2014. André Reyes has also received recognition from the French authors' and composers' society SACEM for his artistic contributions.
Through Gipsy Kings by André Reyes, the musician continues the tradition of Catalan rumba and contemporary flamenco, performing internationally with a repertoire characterised by acoustic guitars, energetic rhythms and distinctive vocal harmonies. The project carries forward the musical heritage of the Reyes family and its lasting influence on Latin and world music.
