At last my dream has come true!!! I saw the Gipsy Kings concerts at the Greek Theatre in LA on Sep 7th and the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas on Sep 11th. They(Pablo, Andre, Nicolas, Tonino, Patchai and Canut) were great, and the sound was perfect! I was moved because Tonino and they played "Inspiration", which I had been loving the most. All of audiences were so exciting and swang or danced to their nice music.
Luckily I happened to meet Tonino, Nicolas and Patchai on the first floor of the Hard Rock Hotel after the show around 24:00. The beautiful flamonco dancer who danced to "Bamboleo" in the show translated my English into Spanish(or Gitane) to them for me. They answered to me "Merci" with smile. I was so glad that they were very friendly and kind to me. Their hands were all very soft and warm. I really appreciate their welcome!
Unfortunately, I forgot to tell them "Please come to Japan once again". I hope my voice reaches the Gipsy Kings!!!
