Description:

There's very little doubt that the Gipsy Kings are good at what they do--they've become the brand name in Sevillana, the pop-oriented flamenco style. Since 1989, when the single "Bamboleo" and their Gipsy Kings album broke through and went gold in the United States, they've found a willing audience in America for their style, which, while flashy, doesn't demand a great deal of the listener, unlike more hardcore versions of flamenco. This double set collects 37 of their biggest tracks, including a version of the Eagles' "Hotel California," into one package guaranteed to satisfy fans of their precise, jubilant playing. And there's no denying they have the power to move people with their singing and fretwork, making this a must for those who want to experience all the familiar material in one sitting. Like the band themselves, the record is an unqualified success as a greatest hits package. --Chris Nickson

2Dumbed Down Culture  May 05, 2009
Wow, with all the great ethnic folk and art music easily available on the market today, it's still shocking how this watered down POP music manages to gain such recognition and fame. This is really nothing more than a flamenco version of New Kids On The Block, or any of the horrible acts who've gained success from American Idol. Just bland, paltry and boring. Even the commercially targeted hi-fi sound spectaculars released throughout the fifties and sixties that dipped into the early "world music" market were far superior to any of this stuff. Talk about a dumbed down culture.

It was very gratefull to find this CD. I was looking for this CD since long time ago and finally I found it at Amazon.com.

5Great!  Dec 23, 2008
Many years ago I saw a PBS special on the Gipsy Kings and was very impressed. I recently heard their Flaminco version of "Hotel California" and thought this album might make a perfect gift for my wife. We absolutely love the entire collection on this CD.

5The Gipsy Kings "Very Best Of..."  Aug 25, 2008
Not a bad song on any of these CDs!! They all bring to mind a sultry evening in some spanish-speaking part of the world. Lilting lyrics, fast and slow conga rythms with impeccable spanish guitar work. CD#1 of the "The Very Best of..." is raucous and fast-paced, while disk #2 is more gentle and relaxing. You will have images of banana and palm trees swaying in the breezes while you relax in some spanish hacienda,cafe or cantina. Break out the premium hand-made cigars and pour up the rum or tequilla!! The Gipsy Kings are an awsome band and will bring any party to life. These CDs are "must-haves" for any serious cigar aficianado!
