Gipsy Kings is a music group from Arles and Montpellier, France.
Although group members were born in France, their parents were gitanos who fled Catalonia
during the Spanish Civil War.
They are known for bringing Rumba Catalana, a pop-oriented version of 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".
