| BrightonGuy | Posted: Apr 15, 2013 - 11:50 Not surprising that the Spanish were seriously miffed when this bunch of highly talented French guys became the most famous exponents of Spanish guitar music in the world. But if you think this track is a little tame, try Serana, or Vamos a Bailar from the album Mosaique for sheer musical excitement. |

| kiarash | Posted: Jan 05, 2013 - 17:25 In Iran, where I live, they have simply ruined GK and some other great instrumental music by using it as generic background music in restaurants, stupid tv programmes, etc... and what really helps is the absence of copyrights of any kind. |
| joelbb | Posted: Sep 07, 2012 - 16:08 Thanks, Bill. Keep educating the jazz illiterate (like me) with cuts like this one. V. nice! |
| docuplate | Posted: Jul 06, 2012 - 18:02 Most excellent instrumentalism for this midsummer evening. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jul 06, 2012 - 18:01 fast... fast on the draw... love it... |
| buddy213 (Pasadena) | Posted: Mar 01, 2012 - 20:17 intro sounded like a Leonard Cohen cover |
| Ruff (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: Jul 24, 2011 - 15:33 The intro reminds me of 'Gerudo valley theme' from the N64-game Legend of Zelda - ocarina of time. |
| gator82 | Posted: Dec 16, 2010 - 08:11 Absolutely LOVE the GK instrumentals! They are wonderful. Thank you for playing this! |
| KikaKitty | Posted: Jul 10, 2010 - 05:46 Nice! |

| RParadise (Hastings-on-Hudson, NY) | Posted: Mar 05, 2010 - 07:55 I always thought this was the perfect lead-in to Al Stewart's "On The Border." |
| WayUpNorth (Windswept Exile) | Posted: Mar 05, 2010 - 07:54 Memories of an incredible, life-changing vacation in Puerto Vallarta many moons ago ... especially good on a chilly March morning.  |

For collectors, here are some other artists to consider in this genre: Paco DeLucia Ottmar Liebert Strunz & Farah Jesse Cook (like GK, JC should not sing!)

| grace_blaum | Posted: Feb 19, 2009 - 16:29 I would love to listen Entre dos aguas (Paco de Lucía), I think they will go well together. |

The song was by Gipsy Kings and it is called "Inspiration." Thanks for listening....take care. Jody Denberg KGSR Program Director -----Original Message----- From: Greg To: jdenberg@kgsr.com Date: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 9:14 AM Subject: exit 377 and counting jody, i certainly enjoyed my time in austin and i am so glad that KGSR is available via internet broadcast. i wanted to thank you for personally answering my emails while i lived there, it meant a lot to me. i am back up north again and i have one last favor to ask of you if you would be so kind. september 7th, travelling up highway 35, had just made the switch over to 35E into dallas where i would have a short respite before continuing further north. i'm going to say it was about 4 pm. i guess my austin luck was holding out as i still had KGSR tuned in at EXIT 377! you had just finished playing a set that consisted of CCR, Afro Celt....and then some latin influenced guitar instrumental that was absolutely gorgeous. of course, right as you came back on and were about to divulge who it was, the radio went blank. not even static, just a wink and goodbye. i shut the stereo off and rode into dallas in silence. what was that last song i heard across the airwaves? thanks, greg |

| Lotus_Miata (High in the Mountains Above Southern California) | Posted: Aug 02, 2007 - 12:17 This is great music! Had dinner in a Spanish restaurant last night, and the guitarists played this. I knew it because of RP! I gotta buy some Gypsy Kings! |
| stratzippy (Tejas) | Posted: Aug 02, 2007 - 12:14 everytime i hear them I wonder why i dont listen to them more. acoustic alchemy (sp) is excellent; that would make a great show pairing |
| Pyro | Posted: Aug 02, 2007 - 12:12 This is wonderful. |

Selling Music is what we used to call it..............and yet I can hear it's good :( Eddie Veddar says Karen's voice turns him into jelly (Hmm... "Pearl Jelly." sounds like it set up wrong!). Don't let that job (Mammon?) ruin two of life's little treasures for you. |
| Mangoman (Portland Metro Oregon) | Posted: Sep 02, 2005 - 00:44 VERY Cool!  I used to manage a Spanish restaurant, and this was one of the artists/groups in our cd rotation. I've enjoyed them ever since. But I've NEVER heard them on a radio station before! |
