Yayihlanganisa: uJosé Reis, uNicholas no-Andre Reis (amadodana akhe) kanye noChico Buchikhi, “owayengumkhwenyana” womsunguli weqembu lomculo.
Igama lokuqala leqembu kwakungu-Los Reyes. Ekuqaleni, abaculi benza ezigabeni zendawo, kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi baqaphela ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokwandisa indawo yemisebenzi yabo.
Abalaleli bavele balithanda leli bhendi ngenxa yezingoma zalo zothando nezinokuqonda, ithoni yalo eyayibekwe yisiginci saseSpain.
Umlando wegama elithi Gipsy Kings
Ngeshwa, uJose Reis ushone kusenesikhathi. Esikhundleni sakhe kwathathwa uTony Ballardo. Kanye naye, abafowabo ababili, uMaurice noPaco, beza eqenjini lomculo.
Ngemuva kwesikhathi esifushane, u-Diego Ballardo, uPablo, uKanu noPachai Reyes bajoyine iqembu. Ngokushesha uChico walishiya iqembu, waya eqenjini elisha.
Ukuzwakala kwe-melodic nesimo sengqondo sochwepheshe emsebenzini wabo kwanquma kusengaphambili ukuthandwa kwabaculi. Babemenywa emaholidini edolobha, emikhosini yemishado, nasezinkantini.
Ngokuvamile babecula emigwaqweni. Njengoba babehlale bezulazula futhi bevame ukuchitha ubusuku obala, abaculi banquma ukushintsha igama leqembu.
Ukuqashelwa emhlabeni wonke kwama-Gipsy Kings
Ukuphenduka okubukhali emsebenzini wokudala we-Gipsy Kings kwenzeka ngo-1986 ekhulwini elidlule ngemva kokuhlangana noClaude Martinez, owayebambe iqhaza "ekuvuleni" amabhendi amancane.
Wayethanda ukuhlanganiswa komculo wamagypsies aseningizimu yeFrance kanye nokucula okunekhono nokwangempela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abaculi badlala i-virtuoso ne-incendiary kangangokuthi uClaude akakwazanga ukudlula futhi wayekholelwa empumelelweni yeqembu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-repertoire yeqembu ayihlanganisi nje kuphela isitayela se-flamenco, kodwa futhi nomculo we-pop, izisusa ezivela eLatin America, e-Afrika nase-Asia, ngenxa yokuthi baziwa ngaphandle kweFrance.
Ngo-1987, i-Gipsy Kings (egqugquzelwe impumelelo nokuqashelwa) yaqamba izingoma u-Djobi Djoba kanye nethi Bamboleo, ezaba izingoma zangempela zomhlaba. Ithimba lisayine inkontileka enemali eningi nenkampani yokuqopha iSony Music Group.

Ngendlela, umphakathi waseMelika wabathanda kakhulu kangangokuthi bamenywa ekugcotshweni kukaMongameli wase-US. Ngemva kohambo, abaculi banquma ukuphumula futhi bachithe isikhathi sabo esikhululekile nemindeni yabo nabangane.
Esinye isiphetho saMakhosi aseGipsy
Ngemva kwemidlalo eminingi e-New World (eMelika), baneqembu labo labalandeli. NgoJanuwari 1990 wekhulu leminyaka elidlule, abaculi banikeza amakhonsathi amathathu avala izindlebe ngesikhathi esisodwa ezweni lakubo, okwathi ngemva kwalokho baqashelwa ngisho nabathandi bomculo baseFrance abashesha kakhulu. Ngokuhamba kwempumelelo, iqembu lamaGipsy Kings lathatha uhambo lokuya eMoscow.
Ngemuva kokuqopha i-albhamu ethi Live (1992), ibhendi yaqopha i-albhamu ethi Love and Liberty. I-albhamu ibe ngenye yeziphumelele kakhulu. Iqukethe hhayi kuphela izingoma zesitayela se-flamenco.
Abafana baqonda ukuthi manje badinga ukuhlanganisa izitayela ezahlukene ukuze bajabulise wonke abalandeli. Noma kunjalo, abazange bazikhaphele futhi izingoma zomdabu zeqembu nazo zangena kwi-disc.
Ngo-1994, abafana banquma ukuthatha ikhefu elifushane futhi abazange barekhode ama-albhamu amasha, kodwa bakhipha irekhodi elikhulu kunawo wonke, bengeza ingoma eyodwa kuphela entsha kuyo. Ngo-1995, abaculi babuyela eRussia futhi wanika amakhonsathi amabili e-Red Square.
Ibhendi yaqopha i-albhamu yayo elandelayo, iCompas, ngo-1997. I-albhamu yeqembu le-Gipsy Kings yenza uguquko lwangempela embonini yomculo. Kwanqunywa ukuthi kuqanjwe i-acoustic disk ngokugcwele Roots.
I-albhamu yakhiqizwa futhi yaqoshwa ilebula yase-United States of America. Abalandeli bebelinde irekhodi le-acoustic isikhathi eside, ngakho-ke bajabule ngendlela emangalisayo ngokukhishwa kwayo.
Ngo-2006 leli qembu laqopha enye i-albhamu ye-acoustic, iPasajero. Nokho, kulokhu banqume ukwengeza isigqi se-jazz, i-reggae, i-rap yaseCuba, umculo we-pop emculweni. Kwezinye izingoma, abalandeli nabathandi bomculo bangakwazi ngisho nokubona i-motif yesi-Arabhu.
Kuze kube manje, ongoti abaningi bomculo wesigingci sangempela bayakujabulela ukuhlangana naleli qembu elidume umhlaba wonke. Ochwepheshe bomculo babheka ama-Gipsy Kings njengento eyingqayizivele emculweni.
Ngaphambi kokubukeka kwabo, ukuthandwa okukhulu kwafinyelelwa yilabo abenza umculo we-rock ne-pop, kodwa hhayi njenge-flamenco, ehlanganiswe nezinye izitayela zezwe zamazwe ahlukene.
Umculo weGipsy Kings usabonakala, uzwakala emisakazweni, emafasiteleni ezindlu, kuma-video ahlukene kunethiwekhi yomhlaba nakuthelevishini.
Yebo, abaculi abakalahlekelwa ukuthandwa kwabo futhi basajabule futhi banomdlandla. Yiqiniso, sebekhulile impela.
