I just started listening to The Gipsy Kings last summer and I thoroughly enjoy their music. I'm wondering, though, what language a lot of their music is in. At first, it appears Spanish, but when I try to translate some of their lyrics on my PC, there is no match. Aren't they from Europe? Perhaps Spain or the Basque region? The latter would explain, maybe why some of their words wouldn't translate. Some of their titles are in French, so that would also explain the Basque thing.
Also, are their shows pretty cool? I am considering going to see them on their next tour.

Thanks dudes.

Hey buddy, these guys are gypsies from southern Spain. Their language is mixed with Spanish and Arabic but knowing the gypsies they could have borrowed some words from some of the travails that they have taken like French influence also. When you get to be as big as these guys are maybe the French is just because they have many French language listeners and that they want to reach out to them.
