It's been four years from the time of the last studio album by the multi-guitar ensemble with a fondness for poppy rumba flamenco. Have things changed much with the Gipsy Kings' sound? Absolutely not. Die->hard fans may grow frustrated by the deficit of musical progression here, but the group retains the fiery earnestness that has characterized their sound for well over a decade, whether playing celebratory figured and rhythmic motion numbers or romantic ballads. Their layered guitars, passionately soaring vocals, and driving rhythms stay catchy on energetic, upbeat tunes like "Magia del Ritmo," the Latin-flavored "Jo Busco un Camino," and the rambunctious "Solo, Solo Dire." The Gipsy Kings own certainly never sought to play purist flamenco of any sort--they include harp, accordion, keyboards, and Middle Eastern instrumentation on select songs in this place--but they have popularized Latin guitar for a mass audience on the outside of watering down the music's spirit. And all these years later, their science of harmonical sounds still inspires one to get up and dance.
