Gary S. (wa7rgq) from SAN DIEGO, CA Reviewed on 5/13/2007...
These guys all play big acoustic guitars in what at the time of the recording was pretty unique. They sing Spanish classics and newer compositions with a very large sound and great vocals. Highly recommended world music.
CD Reviews
Music you have to dance to

"I find it impossible to sit still when I play this CD. Invariably, the rhythms have me up and dancing in seconds. And although my ability to understand Spanish is quite minimal, the vocalists present the message of each song so well and with great emotion that intuitively I find I understand the gyst of each song. If you like accoustic guitar, syncopated rhythms and vocalists that are obviously having wild fun, then don't pass up this CD."
With this CD the Gipsy Kings began their reign of the 90's.

"An incredible group effort from one of the greatest bands (in any language) of all time. The lead vocals are shared which gives the album a nice variety. The Kings are in top form here. Habla Me has to be the most beautiful song in their 100-plus song catalog."
Este Mundo

(5 out of 5 stars)
"The Gipsy Kings prove to us again how brilliant they really are. Este Mundo is a very good CD containing great songs. Standout tracks are: Baila Me, Sin Ella, Habla Me, Oy, El Mauro and the beautiful No Volvere. The album also contains three great instrumental tracks. The best of them are Lagrimas and the slow Ternuras. Very recommended for any music fan."
This disk got me started as a GK fan

"I love listening to music where you can tell that the musicians are having a blast. This yummy CD often gets put in my player with the "repeat" function on. Every song is a winner. Highly highly recommended."
Desert Island Disc

"If I had to pack for a desert island sojourn, this CD would definitely go in my luggage. Hot southern days, hot southern nights, passion, romance, joie de vivre, Flamenco Gipsy pop which burns...turn the heat on and dance with the Gipsy Kings."
