it's like a coordinated stagger clapping between two groups. "I'll show you my clap if you show me yours" - really really fast and many times.

this makes me think of going on forced marches with my mom to new age shops in yuppie neighborhoods. They always smelled like strawberries or patchouli, contained lots of geodes and there was always a lady with long black hair with thick grey strands streaking down her back as she advised on which type of tarot cards would be best for a woman dealing with a man who just won't commit...

Arf! I get the picture (and the smells). I was recently in Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, which has a deserved rep as a 'new age' 'right-on' chi-chi town, where you've no problem getting tarot readings, reiki, 'holistic therapy', and any other highly expensive cobblers for the affluent middle-classes to waste their excess income on.

D-don, I was just going to say the same thing! Otis Redding, Taj Mahal and now the Gipsy Kings. Great stuff!

buh. I hate this music, sorry.

{#Arrowu} Now, that was a funny post! Reminds me of the mother of my girlfriend when I was a freshman in college.

Love the Gipsy Kings as long as they don't sing! Unfortunately, it seems every one of their CDs features only so many instrumentals like this. If you like this, may I recommend Ottmar Liebert? He knows better than to try to sing, unlike Jesse Cook who also falls into the Gipsy Kings camp (shut up, Jesse).

And not 100% in this vein, but I also recommend anything by Strunz & Farah.

{#Eh} Jag, are you sure you're not thinking of someone else? Doesn't Jesse use guest vocalists? I don't think he sings.

Flying down to Atlanta a couple of weeks ago, I had the great fortune to be seated next to Andre Reyes, one of the two co-founders of the Kings, and surrounded by the rest of the band. Between his bad English and my bad French, we managed an engaging conversation. I don't think there was a moment on the flight that someone wasn't singing. As we landed at Hartfield, they were whistling "La Marseillaise." Too funny.

I saw these guys live one time. Great show. I remember there were about 50 acoustic guitars and an equal amount of leather pants on stage.
Maybe they came up with the band name 'wood, leather and strings' in the early days, but thought better of it

I'm pretty sure these Arles or nearby born guys are of Gypsy extraction and are related to the great Gypsy Flamenco guitarist Manitas De Plata born Ricardo Baliardo. Probably GKs Tonino Baliardo playing lead here. Their sound could be called affected coz it's not strictly Flamenco or gypsy but Rumba Catalana.


Thanks for this clarification. I don't care if someone is not playing 'pure anything.' I don't care if someone's music is 'derivative' (a common insult in this forum). As long as someone makes good quality music, that's all I care about.

just the right music for a trip in my elevator, a stroll through my local supermarket or a nice siesta (espanish, off corrrrss)
