News & Reviews

The Best of the Gipsy Kings is now available on vinyl for the first time, from Nonesuch Records. The vinyl edition features this popular collection from 1995 on two 140-gram LPs. The initial success of this 18-track compilation, chronicling the first seven years of the group's Nonesuch career, illustrated just how popular the Gipsy Kings had become: It held the top spot on the World Music charts for a full year.

About This Album
This up-tempo acoustic set recalls the classic arrangements of the band’s platinum-selling debut and includes a version of Buena Vista Social Club’s “Chan Chan.” The Guardian (UK) praised “their remarkable guitar work, driven on by rousing percussion or accordion.”
