Gipsy Kings by Paco Baliardo

The Cançons de la Mediettània 2024 festival welcomes the Gipsy kings, who, to this day, continue to be the best ambassadors of gypsy culture and the biggest record sellers of the genre.

They have toured the world as many years as their career, they are still famous all over the world, they have sold more than 20 million albums in thirty-five years and they are still the French group that has sold the most records on the entire planet.

Diego Baliardo has always ensured the artistic sustainability of the works of the Gipsy Kings by touring the roads around the world with his group The Gipsy Kings by Diego Baliardo, made up of former members of the original group and the new generation.

The Gipsy Kings group was born in 1987 under the impulse of two families from the south of France, the Baliardo and the Reyes. Before the group was called Los Reyes, but it was in 1978 when the most famous resident of Saint-Tropez, Brigitte Bardot, invited them to host a private party. It is then that the group was renamed Gipsy Kings and became the symbol of the party.
