Somos Gitanos is the Gipsy Kings’ first studio recording since the 1997 album Compas. Continuing to blend French, Spanish, and North African influences in their music, tracks like “Majiwi” merge the sounds of traditional Flamenco with Middle Eastern modalities, while “Lleva me a compass” has a strong Latinate flavor. Other tracks such as “Mi Fandango” are more roots-based evocations of the cante jondo tradition. Lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo showcases his virtuoso technique on the instrumental ballads “Flamencos en el Aire” and “Felices Dias.” ---nonesuch.com
