message: The Discography and Live sections of the article don't seem to include the DVD's/Videotapes the Gipsy Kings have done.  For example Gipsy Kings "Live at Kenwood House in London" (Liberation Entertainment, 2006 copyright owned by Genius Entertainment);  "Tierra Gitana y Live" (Publisher? 2005 DVD only available in PAL system format, zone 2; however a U.S.A. compatible videotape version appears to be available.  It's about 2 hours long) and another "Tierra Gitana" without the "y Live" that was produced in the late 1990's that is 57 minutes long.  There may be other DVD's and videotapes as well.  Source of my info: I own a copy of the Live at Kenwood DVD; my local librarian was able to locate copies of videotapes of the other two in Florida and California and told me about them.  The specific DVD info about "Tierra Gitana y Live" came from http://www.esflamenco.com/product/en25771045.html
I don't know how to properly add this info to the Wikipedia article, so please feel free if you are more experienced.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.52.86 (talk) 18:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The "Background" section is ripped entirely from AMG. See: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/gipsy-kings-p3286
Not sure what to do with this on Wikipedia. I imagine it should be deleted and rewritten by somebody who knows something about the Gipsy Kings.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.73.37.115 (talk) 08:46, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plagiarism 

message: A previous version of this article claimed that the Gipsy Kings had collaborated with Rubén Blades on the song "Caminando por la Calle". Rubén disputed this vehemently: actually, the singer for the Gipsy Kings scat-sang the trombone solo from Rubén's song "Patria" as part of the newer creation, without Blades even being aware of it, and once he learned of it that brought a copyright dispute, that was easily settled when Rubén got co-writer credits for the song (and, I would imagine, a share of the royalties). The problem I have is that I've misplaced the reference I had about that dispute. Can anybody find it? 199.64.0.252 (talk) 16:13, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The spelling of André Reyes' first name is variously given as Andre or Andre' but it should be André (with French e-acute-accent letter).  As support I am throwing in an official Gipsy Kings website giving the (current?) line-up's names.    https://gipsykingsandrereyes.com/    64.62.19.90 (talk) 17:30, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Spelling of André Reyes

message: I think it's interesting to read about what methods of stringing, holding, and playing the guitar are used by these musicians, but I'm not sure it belongs in the "career" section. Did any of it affect their careers? I don't see the connection. I think it would have to be a separate section, more related for example to a discussion of their overall rumba flamenca style. Playing a right-handed guitar in left-handed position does change the way chords are fingered and could contribute to the unique overall sound and style.

replies: text: , I agree with you in theory, but is there enough material on the topic of playing style to warrant a separate sub-section? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Chico Bouchikhi is described in the section Beginnings: 1970s–1980s as a "Moroccan musician," and on his own Wikipedia page, Chico Bouchikhi as a "French musician" - ("born in Arles, France, to a Moroccan father from Oujda and an Algerian mother from Tlemcen.") it might be appropriate to change one article or the other. 81.105.46.48 (talk) 08:00, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
