由著名佛莱明哥乐手Jose Reyes的儿子们及表兄弟共同组成， 1986年，他们深藏的潜力终於遇上伯乐－名制作人 Claude Martinez 一见Gipsy Kings的演出大为惊喜，讚赏之餘主动邀约为其制作。1987年，单曲 「Djobi Djobi」及「Bambo Leo」 终於在Martinez全力倾注心力下正式推出(交由独立厂牌发行)，窜起的声名引来Sony唱片的青睞，1988年首张同名专辑“Gipsy Kings”正式发行。
光法国一地，专辑销售即达将近50万张，接著全欧亦投入此一『吉普赛狂潮』，纷纷播起这类富西班牙风情的热情音乐，专辑更在全欧12个国家打入前十名，震动整个欧洲娱乐界并於美国专辑排行榜停留达40週并荣获金唱片殊荣。
89年底，第二张专辑“Mosaique”英国发行首日即获颁金唱片销售纪录；91 年全球巡迴演出的同时推出了第三张专辑“Este Mundo”，於全球掀起一场风暴供不应求；92 年他们将巡迴录音结集为现场实况录音专辑推出，依然声势依然大受欢迎；93 年带来深具西班牙风味的专辑“Love & Liberte”，除了深情、热力依旧，还有拉丁风味与雷鬼节奏的全新结合，令人耳目一新；95年所发行的专辑“Estrellas”，回归溯及了乐团在艺术创作和文化影响方面的根源，同时也以另一种不落俗套的方式传递了原始情绪、感情和纯然的喜悦；1997年时推出了新作“Compass”（罗盘）专辑中的音乐融合了西班牙佛朗明哥乐风、摇滚节奏、欧洲音乐、北美风格和吉普赛传统的特殊音乐走向，不但反应出组成乐团的成员们迥异之出身背景影响，也塑型成独一无二的Gipsy Kings 吉普赛流浪风招牌特色。
Over the years the Gipsy Kings - which hail from the gypsy community in Arles and Montpelier in the south of France - has included singers and guitarists from the Reyes (Canut, Nicolas, Pablo and Patchai) and Baliardo families (Diego, Paco and Tonino). Lead singer Nicolas Reyes is the son of famed Flamenco singer José Reyes, who, with Manitas de Plata, sold millions of records in the 60's and 70's. The vigorous strumming of multiple acoustic guitars and the passionate vocals of the Gipsy Kings have best been defined by critics and fans as an exotic musical hybrid, "rumba flamenca".
There are no other examples of a non-English-speaking band (the group speaks in the Gypsy dialect of Gitane) with such a consistent winning streak in the US, where the group is the biggest-selling French act ever. Ever since the 1987 release of the blockbuster single "Bamboleo," from their platinum-plus debut album, the Gipsy Kings have dominated the World Music charts and sold more than 13 million albums worldwide - more than 3 million in the United States alone. The band captured the #1 spot on Billboard's World Music album chart with the gold certified "BEST OF GIPSY KINGS," which remained on the chart for more than a year.
Albums including the gold-certified "MOSAIQUE," "ALLEGRIA", "ESTE MUNDO", "GIPSY KINGS LIVE", "LOVE & LIBERTÉ," and "TIERRA GITANA" have provided a steady fuel of hits to Billboard's World Music, Latin, and Billboard Top 200 charts. For several years running, the Gipsy Kings have been consistently voted Billboard's #1 World Music Artist and #1 Latin Pop Artist in the magazine's year-end awards. In addition, their song "Sin Ella" from 1991's Este Mundo was chosen by Peter Weir for the soundtrack to his 1993 film, "Fearless."
Gipsy Kings is a French group of Spanish-language musicians from Arles and Montpellier, France. Although group members were born in France, their parents were mostly gitanos, Spanish Romani people who fled Catalonia during the 1930s Spanish Civil War, with the exception of Chico Bouchikhi who is of Moroccan and Algerian descent. They are known for bringing Rumba Catalana, a pop-oriented music distantly derived from traditional flamenco music, to worldwide audiences. Their music has a particular Rumba Flamenca style, with pop influences; many songs of the Gipsy Kings fit social dances, such as Salsa and Rumba. Their music has been described as a place where "Spanish flamenco and Romani rhapsody meet salsa funk".
Gipsy Kings are members of two related families: the Reyes and the Baliardos (Reyes means Kings in Spanish). They are cousins of the flamenco great Manitas de Plata whose granddaughter lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo married. Nicolas, Canut, Paul, Andre and Patchai Reyes are sons of flamenco singer Jose Reyes. The Gipsy Kings are:
* Nicolas Reyes: lead vocals, guitar
* Paul Reyes: backup vocals, guitar
* Canut Reyes: backup vocals, guitar
* Patchai Reyes: backup vocals, guitar
* Andre Reyes: backup vocals, guitar
* Diego Baliardo: guitar
* Paco Baliardo: guitar
* Tonino Baliardo: lead guitar
Chico Bouchikhi was also a member of the Gipsy Kings, but quit after the album Mosaique.

如风一般漂泊的Gipsy Kings
这几天把Gipsy Kings的歌挖出来听，会突然想到要听他们的歌，
应该是因为听了Armik的专辑「Cafe Romantico」。
Armik热情又浪漫的吉他，让人不禁放鬆心情，彷彿置身於悠閒的午后，
一边享受徐徐微风，一边品嚐醇浓咖啡，虽然我不喜欢喝咖啡...
Armik - [Cafe Romantico」Sweet Dreams
真的很甜蜜的一首曲子...
大概是歌曲风格相似，让我想起了Gipsy Kings。
每次听Gipsy Kings都觉得很感动，有一股热情洋溢的气息散发出来，
浓浓的拉丁风情，在这个亟需热度季节里，还满适合的。
其实我也没有很积极的在追这个团的作品，对他们的经历也不太瞭解，只知道是个标準的家族乐团，
而且每个成员年纪都很大（我老是喜欢中年男子...）。但是就是因为年纪大吧，
再加上团员们四处奔波，他们的作品，总有一种热情中带 有沧桑的感觉。
主唱的歌声，沙哑但浑厚，因此詮释情歌来相当入味。
Gipsy Kings - Un amor
第一次听到Un amor这首歌，是在「音乐咖啡地图 马德里到里斯本」专辑，
一听之后就爱上了，虽然Gipsy Kings的代表作另有别首，但我还是独钟此曲。
听著听著，整个情绪都被牵引进去了...
