The best world tour you can take without a passport, featuring sizzling hits “Bamboleo” and “Un Amor.”
Take a romantic, exotic trip around the globe with the well-traveled and rhythmically-gifted Gipsy Kings without ever leaving the comfort of Houston. What emerged from the band’s upbringing was a modern take on up-tempo, percussion-heavy flamenco and rumba beats that have made the Gipsy Kings world music royalty for over 20 years. In 1988 their self-titled first album contained the international hit Bamboleo, as well as romantic ballad Un Amor. The album spent 40 weeks on the U.S. Billboard charts, an almost unheard of feat before the mid-90s . Since then, the Gipsy Kings have become no less than the most well-known world act to emerge from the South-of-France in history, selling over 18 million albums worldwide. Its concerts are mixed with both playful covers of The Eagles’ classic Hotel California to classic originals from their Latin Grammy-winning album Love & Liberté and their most recent album, Pasajero. Tickets for Gipsy Kings are $65, $75 and $90
