Gipsy Kings in Varna on September 14 - 40 years of Bamboléo with Nicolas Reyes at the Summer Theatre

The legendary Gipsy Kings come to Varna on September 14, playing the Summer Theatre as part of Nostalgia Fest. The concert is conceived as a celebration of 40 years of their biggest hit „Bamboléo", and the band performs in a lineup led by Nicolas Reyes, the founder's son.

Gipsy Kings are the group that introduced the world to the sound of rumba flamenco in the eighties - a mix of the traditional Spanish guitar, the passionate Caló singing and a pop accessibility that turned their songs into global hits. „Bamboléo", „Djobi Djoba" and their cover of „Volare" are among their best-known numbers, and the group, descended from the Spanish-French Roma community, has sold over twenty million albums worldwide. They are among the few non-English-language acts to have won over a global audience on such a scale.

The version performing in Varna is Gipsy Kings by Reyes, with Nicolas Reyes at the helm - the voice behind the group's biggest hits. The Summer Theatre show, with its open-air setting by the Black Sea, is ideal for the band's characteristic warm, summery sound, which makes the celebration of a four-decade hit all the more special.

The concert starts at 8 p.m., with tickets sold through bilet.bg at prices in the euro equivalent of around 30 to 62 euros. For flamenco and world-music lovers from Macedonia, this is a chance to see live the names behind one of the most recognisable sounds of the eighties and nineties.
