Thank you for your great site. I was able to find out from others who have posted to you that GK will be here in Los angeles area this May. I was searching for this info on many different sites. It is nice to see that there are so many GK fans. I have all the
available cd's and find them great. What great music! Thanks again for your site. If you know of a local fan club here in the LA area please contact me.
Regards from Long Beach Ca. USA.

I was lent a tape of the GK's by a parent down the road. She played it in the evening when she and her child were getting tired and cranky and it really worked well for them. Now, we have four of the GKs albums and we play them every day. My son Mark (16 months old) demands them! You're doing great things here, with the lyrics and the translations. We've been making out the songs word by word for awhile, and some we can understand most of, but there are always those words that I assume are dialect or phrases that I can't make out. I saved all the translations to savor tomorrow.
Requests: Igual Se Entonces, Los Pesces en el rio, and Pajarito. They're on your page, but there's no link...
You're doing us all a great favour --thanks so much.

Hello Chie! I'm going to try this again, I was interrupted when I tried to transmit earlier. This is a great site for the Gipsy Kings!!
I've found it very useful, I was able to locate some CDs I've been
looking for. You're doing a fantastic job and I appreciate all your
effort. I would love more bio info on the Reyes family, wives,
children, who is Bernadette? I've seen her name on CDs with Jose
Reyes and his sons. I WOULD LOVE INFO ON 1997 TOUR DATES!!!! I've seen the dates for Wash DC and NY but I'm in Minneapolis. They were last here in '95 and skipped us last summer. I'm praying that they come to Mpls this summer. I just tried Ticketmaster Online but they just had the above dates listed. I would appreciate any info ASAP. Thanks for the great Gipsy Kings site!! I can be reached at qkdraw@AOL.comm. I hope that they get to Japan too!! Adios y muchas gracias!!

Thank's for your reply! I'm from los Angeles, California. I'm a accounts receivable manager for a large messenger/attorney service, Express Network. We mainly service law firms doing thier filings, service of process etc. Not the most flamboyant job but it's a good living. In my spare time I do Mosaic art pieces using glass and ceramic tiles.
You are the first web site I E-mailed. I love the Gipsy Kings and haven't found anyone in Los Angeles who is as intoxicated with their music as I am. It's a pleasure reading your web site, thank-you. Are you a member of the GK fan club? If so was it hard to become a member? I would love it if the United States had a fan club or even Japan. Have the GK played in Japan? Have you seen them live? Sorry for so many questions but what can I say, I'm addicated. Please tell me about how you got started with your web site.
See you later,

I only recently discovered the Gipsy Kings after seeing a documentary on PBS. I instantly fell in love with their music and have been dying to see them in concert ever since. I live in the Atlanta area, but visit NY once or twice a year. Any info you could provide would be much appreciated!
Thanks

According to Bob Bish (bish@azstarnet.com) 1997/01/19:
Last August I retired from radio broadcasting after 27 years. I started in Progressive Rock FM in 1969. I worked at some of those early FM stations that played progressive rock AND progressive jazz. I was Music Director and/or Program Director of many different stations over the years. I once worked at a station that had 50,000 (vinyl) albums in the control room. I've heard a LOT of music. A hell of a lot.
I just recently discovered the Gipsy Kings.
This is the BEST DAMN MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD!

Hello, my name is Berta and I go to UCSD. I recently fell in love with the Gipsy Kings. My roommate went to a coffee shop where she heard their music and she liked it so much she bought a CD. Now I'm addicted!! Their music is beautiful and has so much soul!! I found this page on the web and it's great. Now I can know all the lyrics too!! I would like to know if they have any tour plans in the U.S. for 1997. I would appreciate any info you could give me. My email address is blyles@ucsd.edu ;)

OS QUIERO FELICITAR POR LA GRAN MUSICA QUE TOCAIS. YO SOY UN FAN DESDE QUE LES ESCUCHE POR PRIMERA VEZ. SIEMPRE QUE SALE UN CD NUEVO, HAGO LO POSIBLE PRO COMPRARLO. SOLAMENTE QUE NO TODOS LOS CDs LLEGAN A AMERICA. HE ESCUCHADO DE MIS AMIGOS QUE EN ESPAN~A HAY MAS CDS DE VUESTRA MUSICA. ME HA GUSTADO "TIERRA GITANA" ESPECIALMENTE "LA RUMBA DE NICOLAS" OS ADMIRO MUCHO.
JESUS LUZ DE LA CONCEPCION GONZALES
I want to congratulate you for the great music that you play. I have been a fan since I heard you for the first time. Whenever a new CD comes out, I do everything possible to buy it. It's only that not all the CDs arrive in America. I have heard from my friends in Spain that there are more CDs of your music. I liked "Tierra Gitana" especially "La Rumba de Nicolas". I admire you very much.

From Don Dungan (aimdon@wiredweb.com) Sat, Jan 11 21:22:04 1997:
To the COOL person who made possible the translations of the Gipsy Kings, I LOVE being able to understand the words of these great songs. Thank you very much. I would like to have a translation of Volare'. It is a beautiful song in any language. Last month I was in a store Christmas shoping and they were playing The Best of The Gipsy Kings and I asked who that was. I listened a little while, about two songs worth, and said I have to have that. I was an instant fan. Anyway before I start rambling and wasting your time I would really love to get a translation of Volare'.
Thank You So Much,
Don

Hi!! I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your home page for the Gipsy Kings!! I am SUCH a fan of theirs. I heard about them completely by accident in an Intensive Spanish class I was taking back in 1992 at the University here. The professor played "Djobi, Djoba" for us, and I have been hooked since. The only problem is that their music is really hard to find here in Oklahoma. I was lucky enough to find "Este Mundo" and "The Best of Gipsy Kings". I LOVE both of them and can't wait to hear the other albums. I guess I will have to order them. Also, I love the fact that you made the lyrics available. I love to try to sing along and this will make it much more pleasant on everyone's ears!! Keep up the great work!!

Hi:
I am so excited to find someone got involved on the GK!!! I will be
visiting your Page everytime I can. I go to their concerts every year, I have almost all their CD, but I want to get their video Live at the Royal Albert Hall (1989)... it's almost impossible. Can you help me? I live in Northern California (East of San Francisco). I came from Peru 10 years ago... The GK are not known in South America, at least in Peru, maybe you can do something about that.
I will be contacting the fan clubs, to learn more and more about them. I like to THANK you for having this idea, Bamboleo Home Page. Keep doing this excellent job. If I can help... let me know it, also in Spanish!
Again thanks,
Laura Haines

Hi,
I think an interesting note to add to the history of the Gipsy Kings is their familial association with "Manitas de Plata," who is Ricardo Baliardo. As you may know the Baliardos of the Gipsy Kings are cousins to Ricardo Baliardo; and what's more the father of the Reyes brothers, Jose Reyes, sang as "cantaor" with "Manitas de Plata." Just thought this to be an interesting note.
Bye.

Hi, I am seeking information concerning Gipsy King concert dates. I just discovered the Gipsy Kings last summer while traveling in Central America, and only tonight did I find that they were on tour in the US just at the same time I was beginning to get into them!
Do you know of any tour dates yet to come either in the US or abroad? I would love to see them in concert if at all posible! I hope to here from you soon.

Hi there!
It's the first time that I email to Japan!!! Well, I got very short time before I leave. You can learn all unimportant stuff about me on (being constructed) my homepage:
http://www.student.kuleuven.ac.be/~m9624138
Important is that I love Gipsy Kings and your Bamboleo GK Homepage! However, I can't find any chords for guitar... are they there or where shall I look? I need Baila Me and No Volvere... also, I heard they would come to Belgium any time near - is it true? Thanks a lot!!! Have a merry Christmas (if you celebrate it!?).
See you... Tomas
