In a 1996 documentary about their music, lead singer Nicolas Reyes said the Gipsy Kings switched to their signature rumba sound because they “liked to watch pretty girls dance”. Personally I think they’re on the right track. Since their 1988 arrival, they’ve been allergic to writing boring music. Most people may not realize how many Gipsy King songs they already know—their tasteful guitar licks have spread via features in film and famous covers across decades. With no new record to tour, these veteran shredders are playing nothing but back to back hits at Mountain Winery Saturday night.
