Gipsy Kings

Flamenco
Flamenco

Gipsy Kings is a Flamenco act. Their sound grew out of Eagles, Randy Newman, Bob Marley, Mariah Angeliq and Kofi. Those roots explain a lot about how Gipsy Kings arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ottmar Liebert, Compay Segundo, Kaoma, Cesária Évora and Estrella Morente, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kendji Girac, Joan Baez, Bananarama, Takagi & Ketra and Elodie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Gipsy Kings, reaching back through Eagles and forward to Kendji Girac.
