It has been twenty-five years since the Gipsy Kings captured the world’s imagination with their self-titled debut album, a record that became a genuine phenomenon, certified gold and platinum around the globe, introducing millions of listeners to a unique, irresistible blend of traditional flamenco styles with Western pop and Latin rhythms. Since then, the band has toured virtually non-stop, to the farthest-flung corners of the planet, and sold almost twenty million albums, all the while retaining the same line-up of virtuoso musicians.
Now the Gipsy Kings return with SAVOR FLAMENCO, their ninth studio album and first new release in six years. The project marks the first time in their storied career that the Kings have produced themselves and written all of the material. It also starts a relationship between France’s most successful musical group of all time and a new label, Knitting Factory Records.
“Music has always been a passion,” says lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo. “Even after all this time, after all these years of touring and working. It has given us so much. We have matured, we have developed in music, and it has been so good for us.”
Twenty-five years is an eternity in pop music, but the story of the Gipsy Kings reaches back much farther. Theirs is a music that extends through generations, to the sounds of their ancestors, and reflects the eclectic and peripatetic history of the gitanos, Spanish Romani people who fled the Catalonia region during the Spanish Civil War.
The group has been fronted for 25 years by the two songwriters and producers Nicolas Reyes and Tonino Baliardo. The father of Nicolas, Jose Reyes, formed a celebrated flamenco duo with Manitas de Plata which counted the likes of Miles Davis and Pablo Picasso among its fans. When the pair parted ways, Reyes became even more popular after starting his own band, backed up by his sons and called Los Reyes.
When the senior Reyes passed away in 1979, Nicolas and Tonino began playing together in the Southern French town of Arles. They traveled throughout the country, busking on the streets of Cannes, playing wherever they could—weddings, parties, festivals. Having adopted the perpetual motion of the gypsy lifestyle, they eventually translated “Los Reyes” and changed their name to the Gipsy Kings.
“World Music” is often a meaningless catch-all phrase, a marketing shortcut, but as one of the acts that first helped define the phrase, the Gipsy Kings create music that really does cross all borders. From the beginning all the way through SAVOR FLAMENCO, their sound has reflected the constant travel and diverse influences of the gypsy heritage. Their 1987 debut album, which spent forty weeks on the US album charts, introduced the world to “Rumba Gitano”—South America’s rumba rhythm married to the fleet attack of flamenco guitars. That record’s “Bamboleo” became a huge, break-out worldwide hit (more than twenty years later, it even turned up on an episode of the TV series Glee).
Over the years, the music of the Kings incorporated elements of Latin and Cuban styles, Arabic music, reggae, and jazz guitar reminiscent of the French Gypsy master Django Reinhardt. Yet, as heard on the new album, they have never lost their intense connection to the traditional flamenco of their heritage, keeping a spotlight on Tonino Baliardo’s fluid guitar work and Nicolas Reyes’s powerful vocals. This broad cultural mix has enabled the Gipsy Kings to be embraced wherever they play—from China to Brazil, New Orleans to Russia, Australia to Africa.
The band’s music has also remained visible over the years throughout popular culture. They recently performed their version of “Volare,” which was an international hit in 1989, on an episode of Dancing with the Stars. Their rendition of “Hotel California” was included in the film The Big Lebowski and on the HBO series Entourage. The 2010 film Toy Story 3 featured a Gipsy Kings version of the movie’s popular, Randy Newman-penned theme, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
Following the release of their last album, 2006’s Pasajero, the Kings looked at the chaos that was dominating the 21st Century music industry and opted to take a break from recording. They never stopped writing new material and developing songs on the road, though; they began recording SAVOR FLAMENCO two years ago, feeling free to write their own arrangements, select the additional musicians they wanted, and produce their own tracks for the first time ever. When it was time to re-enter the marketplace, they also found an innovative new partner in Knitting Factory Records, an independent label which recently oversaw an ambitious campaign to reinvigorate the catalogue of Nigerian musical/political icon Fela.
For the band, the new album represents both a look forward and a look back. Nicolas Reyes says of “Samba Samba,” the lead single of SAVOR FLAMENCO, that “it’s a song very much from our early years—it was written for parties, sun, joy, and beaches.”
The Gipsy Kings have spent a remarkable two-and-a-half decades at the top, in a category that’s all their own. Yet in those occasional periods when they aren’t touring, the band members still live with their families in the south of France, the area that defined their identities and their sound. Each time, they return to their isolated enclave, and then recreate the experience of immigrants coming to a new land. Certainly, their lives are different from those of their ancestors, but something fundamental still remains; as they continue to travel the world, absorbing new cultures and styles, this mobility, curiosity, and adaptation drives their music ever forward.
And as active as this remarkable collective remains, they are also looking to what the longer-term future will hold for the Gipsy Kings—and for the family bonds that define the group. “Even though it’s been 25 years, we want to keep on making new music because it’s our life, it’s who we are,” says Nicolas Reyes. “But I think there will be a time when we pass down the Gipsy Kings to our sons.”

Ricordi, nostalgia, amore: la ballata per Messina del cantautore Novo
NOVO INTERVISTA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO-ewWWW4Ck
Alessandro Capurro, in arte Novo, giovane cantautore messinese, una passione nata da bambino guardando lo zio suonare la chitarra, un lungo percorso che l’ha portato da qualche anno a cantare e comporre. Nel suo ultimo brano “Palluni ruccati”, racconta con amore nostalgico la sua città. Una canzone in dialetto che scopre in maniera poetica ed evocativa i valori e le tradizioni scomparse. “Non aviumu nenti ma ridiumu sempri” canta Alessandro, ricordando la sua infanzia, in parte vissuta fra le baracche di Camaro San Paolo, dove seppur in un contesto difficile, i valori della comunità erano forti e reali…
“Stiamo perdendo la socialità” – racconta Alessandro – “Credo che una città abbia bisogno di spazi, è da lì che nasce l’aggregazione, l’arte. Quella che Messina sta vivendo è un’occasione unica, lo sbaraccamento deve servire alla città per avere nuovi stimoli, per recuperare spazi e identità.””
Alessandro Capurro, aka Novo, a young singer-songwriter from Messina, a passion born as a child watching his uncle play the guitar, a long journey that has led him to sing and compose for some years. In his latest song “Palluni ruccati” , he tells his city with nostalgic love. A song in dialect that discovers the values and traditions that have disappeared in a poetic and evocative way. “Non aviumu nenti but ridiumu sempri” sings Alessandro, recalling his childhood, partly lived in the barracks of Camaro San Paolo, where, albeit in a difficult context, the values of the community were strong and real.
“We are losing sociality” – Alessandro says – “I believe that a city needs space, that’s where aggregation, art comes from. What Messina is experiencing is a unique opportunity, the clearing must serve the city to have new stimuli, to recover spaces and identity. “
The piece saw a prestigious collaboration, the choirs were interpreted by Mario Incudine. The arrangements are by Dario Lisitano, who also deserves credit, explains Alessandro, for having directed him on the right musical path. The musicians: Fabrizio Marcellino on guitar and Novo himself, Santino Merrino on percussion.
The video clip of the song was directed by Alessando Capurro and Carlotta Ingemi. The shots were all shot in characteristic places of the city, from the north coast to the village of Pezzolo, and were made by Carlotta Ingemi, Giuseppe Spuria and on the drone by Marco Gismondo.
The appointment not to be missed to listen to Novo live is for August 5th, the singer-songwriter will open the concert by Eugenio Bennato and Mario Incudine. His notes will resonate in the arena of Villa Dante, a place frequented as a child with skinned knees, and which he now finds again as a protagonist.
mariaFausta began studying music at the age of 14. She graduated in violin at the Corelli Conservatory of Messina, in jazz at the CMDL in France and in conducting at the European Conducting Academy in Vicenza.

She collaborates with groups of all genres from baroque to pop music, electronic, classic and progressive rock, blues and jazz. She was leader of the Spell trio for 12 years.

She has never abandoned the love for classical music which he continues to discover both as a teacher and as an orchestra professor.
After returning from an orchestral tour in China in the cities of Tianjin and Harbin, she began a new experience as a composer of music for the theater scene. In the last three years she has written soundtracks for the television libraries of RTI Mediaset, dedicating himself to his personal project “Million Faces” which, in 2018, he presents during a tour with Le Orme, opening for Will Hunt by Evanescence and at Fimaa Milano, in concert at the Italian Consulate of Istanbul for the Republic Day, at the review for Palermo City of Culture, on tour in France and in many other prestigious events.

mariaFausta | MILLION FACES
The disc of the Sicilian singer and composer is written, produced and arranged entirely by her, a young multifaceted artist who is enjoying considerable acclaim abroad, especially in France, where she has been performing and collaborating with renowned musicians for some time.

PALLUNI RUCCATI
n’te lameri i baracca i palluni ruccati,
ncagghiati sutta e machini e ginocchia scucciati
e graniti squagghiati,
pisci e frutta banniati,
i buci di pisciari comu serenati;
e i vecchiareddi n’ta strada
a scucciuliari i favi
pigghitinni na picca si hai fami.
chi non aviumu nenti,
ma riudiumu sempri,
piccireddi e ranni e vecchi senza denti……x2
o l’endass biliardini, gelati e mbriacuni.
ietta l’asu i mazzi sinnò su jastimi
e i luntanu fumu
e ciauru i tajunu, stigghioli e virina
ca birra messina,
e a duminica festa ranni,
pigghia u costumi e ietta i panni
n’ferra tuagghi guanteri e occhiali
chi scinnemu e scinnemu a mari,
tuffi e cuttigghiu e ritticchiu a tinchitè
ma un piscaturi dici vadda da chi c’è
ventu i punenti cancia a correnti
pi cu ridi e non avi nenti.
chi non aviumu nenti,
ma riudiumu sempri,
piccireddi e ranni e vecchi senza denti.
ma poi vinni u progressu e finiu stu giocu
ca modernità vulia chiù decoru
cacciaru i genti di stradi,
stutaru i fochi a mari
e fineru i palluni, i palluni ruccati,
e ora chi avemu i casi belli
e chini di minchiati, ma
si voi parrari cu quaccudunu
non sai chiù aunn’annari.
chi non aviumu nenti,
ma riudiumu sempri,
piccireddi e ranni e vecchi senza denti……x2
ammuccia, ammucciatedda,
a mucciti bonu, chi prima chi scura
forsi
ti trovu.
TRADUZIONE (IT)
Palloni arroccati (1)
nelle lamiere delle baracche i palloni arroccati
incastrati sotto le macchine e le ginocchia sbucciate
le granite squagliate
pesce e frutta urlati (2)
le grida dei pescatori come serenate
e i vecchietti in strada
a sbucciare fave
“prendine un po’ se hai fame”
Che non avevamo niente
ma ridevamo sempre
piccoli e grandi e vecchi senza denti
all’Endas calcio balilla, gelati e ubriaconi (3)
“Butta l’asso di mazze altrimenti sono bestemmie!”
e odore di tajone, stigghiole e virina (4)
con la birra Messina (5)
e la domenica festa grande
prendi il costume da bagno e getta i vestiti
prendi teli da mare, teglie e occhiali (6)
tuffi e pettegolezzi e risate incontrollate
ma un pescatore dice “guarda li cosa c’è
vento di ponente cambia la corrente
per chi ride e non ha niente”
Che non avevamo niente
ma ridevamo sempre
piccoli e grandi e vecchi senza denti
Ma poi è venuto il progresso ed è finito questo gioco
con la modernità volevo più decoro
hanno cacciato le persone dalle strade
hanno spento i fuochi a mare
e sono finiti i palloni, i palloni arroccati
e ora che abbiamo le case belle
e piene di minchiate, ma
se vuoi parlare con qualcuno
non sai dove andare
Che non avevamo niente
ma ridevamo sempre
piccoli e grandi e vecchi senza denti
“Nasconditi, nascondino,
nasconditi bene, che prima che fa sera
forse
ti trovo”
(1) in realtà quando un pallone si “rruccava” finiva in posti poco accessibili per un bambino:
Sui tetti, nei balconi abbandonati, nei terreni privati, nei rami degli alberi, sotto le macchine e così via.
(2) le “banniate” sono le urla che un venditore con una bancarella fa alle persone che comprano al mercato rionale. Per esempio “Signoraaaaa questi pesci hanno l’occhio vivooooo”. Ecco. Questo è banniare
(3) in realtà tutti i circoli ricreativi che avevano dei videogiochi, biliardi, o un semplice tavolino per giocare a carte sono chiamati Endas.
(4) lo street food centenario di Messina: intestino di mucca, budella di pecora, mammella di mucca tutto cotto ai ferri
(5) No. non è la birra Messina che conoscete adesso a livello nazionale. E’ la prima birra Messina. Quella con decenni di tradizione acquisita e stravolta dalla Heineken… lasciamo perdere, va!
(6) per “teglie” si intende la teglia di pasta al forno. Pranzo tipico di chi sceglie di stare tutto il giorno a mare
TRANSLATION (EN)
Perched balloons (1)
in the sheets of the shacks the perched balloons
stuck under cars and skinned knees
the melted slushes
screamed fish and fruit (2)
the cries of the fishermen like serenades
and the old men in the street
to peel broad beans
“take some if you’re hungry”
That we had nothing
but we always laughed
small and large and old without teeth
at the Endas table football, ice cream and drunkards (3)
“Throw away the ace of clubs otherwise they are blasphemies!”
and smell of tajone, stigghiole and virina (4)
with Messina beer (5)
and on Sunday a big party
grab your swimsuit and throw away your clothes
take beach towels, pans and glasses (6)
diving and gossip and uncontrolled laughter
but a fisherman says “look what there is
west wind changes the current
for those who laugh and have nothing “
That we had nothing
but we always laughed
small and large and old without teeth
But then progress came and this game ended
with modernity I wanted more decor
they kicked people off the streets
they put out the fires in the sea
and the balloons are gone, the balloons perched
and now that we have the beautiful houses
and full of bullshit, but
if you want to talk to someone
you don’t know where to go
That we had nothing
but we always laughed
small and large and old without teeth
“Hide, hide and seek,
hide well, that before it gets dark
perhaps
I find you”
(1) in reality when a balloon “crouched” it ended up in places not very accessible for a child:
On roofs, on abandoned balconies, on private land, in tree branches, under cars and so on.
(2) the “banniate” are the shouts that a vendor with a stall makes to people who buy at the local market. For example “Signoraaaaa these fish have a vivid eye”. Here it is. This is banning
(3) actually all the recreational clubs that had video games, billiards, or a simple table for playing cards are called Endas.
(4) the centenary street food of Messina: cow intestine, sheep guts, cow udder all grilled
(5) No. It is not the Messina beer you know now nationally. It is the first Messina beer. The one with decades of tradition acquired and upset by Heineken … forget it, go!
(6) “teglie” means the baking tray of baked pasta. Typical lunch for those who choose to stay all day at sea
Il doppio concerto dei due cantautori si terrà alle ore 21:00 di venerdì 28 febbraio 2020 nella sede dell’Associazione Culturale “La Cicalata” di Messina, in via Pippo Romeo 10, nei pressi di Piazza del Popolo. L’ingresso è gratuito e riservato ai soli soci ma è possibile richiedere la tessera all’ingresso.

Amici messinesi… il 28 avete un impegno. Segnatevelo 😉
