Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes — The Rady Shell San Diego
A chord change can reach your body before it ever reaches your ears. You heard this one once — a car with the windows down, a kitchen where somebody's grandmother was cooking — and it never left. It sat there waiting for the night you would hear it played on a stage with the Pacific behind it.
That sound sold twenty-five million records and turned 'Bamboléo' into a song the whole world knew and nobody could explain why it moved them. Nicolas Reyes, the voice that started it, still leads. The set pulls across four decades — 'Djobi Djoba,' 'Inspiration,' the Flamenco Beach material — played by musicians who learned this the way their families have for generations, in the south of France among the Romani community that made the music theirs.
The Rady Shell on the San Diego waterfront, with the bay catching the last of the light behind the stage.
Bring somebody who already knows the feeling. You will not have to explain a single thing to them.
