Founded 25 years ago by the two songwriters and producers Nicolas Reyes and Tonino Baliardo, Gipsy Kings return with Savor Flamenco, their ninth studio album and first new release in six years. The project marks the first time in their storied career that the Kings have written and  produced all of the material themselves. It also starts a relationship between France’s most successful musical group of all time and a new label, Knitting Factory Records.

Twenty-five years is an eternity in pop music, but the story of the Gipsy Kings reaches back much farther. Theirs is a music that extends through generations, to the sounds of their ancestors, and reflects the eclectic and peripatetic history of the gitanos, Spanish Romani people who fled Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War.
