The Gipsy Kings with Tonino Baliardo Guitarist and Founder

00:00 /

The Gipsy Kings have sold 20 million records worldwide, won a Grammy for best World Music Record, and four other grammy nominations. They have played the great concert halls of the world, appeared in movies (Big Lebowski, Toy Story III) and wowed audiences with their combination of rumba, salsa, flamenco and pop music. In this interview Rachel talks with founder and lead guitarist, Tonino Baliardo, who only speaks French and Spanish, so had a translator. The Gipsy Kings will play the Warrior’s Stadium in Santa Cruz on May 19th.
