Alice Cooper has drawn equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock people.

The Gipsy Kings are a collection of pop and cultural musicians from the south of France. Most of its members hail from France, but were raised with the Spanish way of life, giving their music a unique and progressive style. They use bits of musical influences from both France and Spain, so their music attracts millions of fans around the world because of its inclusivity. Having topped the charts in several countries, their tunes are considered world music more than just music related to a single country.

The Gipsy Kings have just a handful of shows lined up for 2019. Their first date is on March 23rd in Bristol, Great Britain, after which they are headed to Paris, France on April 13th. The last two shows they have are both to be held in London, Great Britain, on April 18th and June 14th.

Gipsy Kings Background

The Gipsy Kings originated in Arles, France and became active starting back in 1978. The lineup of these group members is unique because although they were all born in France, their parents were gypsies who sought refuge during the Spanish Civil war. Most of their music follows a Catalan-rumba style, mixing salsa and flamenco music together.

The members of the group derive from the families of two cousins, Reyes and Baliardo. Nicholas Reyes and Tonino Baliardo are credited with founding the group, and their families fill in the rest of the group’s instrumentals, including guitarists and backup vocals. The group got their big break through their self-titled third album, which was a hit in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This success opened up the door for their release in the US, which led to even more popularity and fame.

Gipsy Kings’ Greatest Hits

The Gipsy Kings have several notable songs from their releases. A few of their best singles include “Bamboléo”, “Soy”, “Volare” and “Pida Me La”.

Throughout the history of rock music in the US, few bands have ever gotten to the height of fame and respect that ZZ Top has received. The band has redefined the meaning of blues rock and is known to be one of the few bands to stick with their music style throughout their career. Their expertise and passion in music shows through all of their work, and ZZ Top fans respect and love them for this very reason.

Fans of the group can see them perform on a few different occasions in 2019. The next available date they have set up is on February 1st in Las Vegas. Followed by trips to cities like Helsinki, Hamar, Maxeville, and Cologne, the final date for ZZ Top’s shows is on July 12th in London, Great Britain.

ZZ Top Background

ZZ Top was formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. Surprisingly, the band is one of the very few groups that have stuck with the same lineup of members since their formation. The band members include Dusty Hill, Billy Gibbons, and Frank Beard. The band was the idea of Gibbons, who later came across Hill and Beard through mutual connections.

When ZZ Top first got started in music, there wasn’t a high demand for blues rock, and they had trouble finding a record label in the US and eventually signed with London Records. Though their first album wasn’t a hit, their second piece of work, Tres Hombres, was the complete opposite. This album really gave the group the attention they needed and got them Top 10 Records recognition.

ZZ Top’s Greatest Hits

ZZ Top’s career has spanned several decades, so naturally they have quite a few hits. Some of their most popular songs are “Cheap Sunglasses”, “Legs”, “Got Me Under Pressure”, “Sharp Dressed Man” and “La Grange”.
