Gipsy kings

Gipsy Kings are coming to Lithuania! Together with Gipsy Kings founder, leader, and Grammy Award winner, maestro Tonino Baliardo!

Friday, December 18, Compensa Concert Hall, Vilnius

Throughout their career, Gipsy Kings have sold over 20 million albums worldwide and have been awarded numerous gold, platinum, and diamond discs. The group won a Victoire de la Musique award in 1990 and a Grammy Award in 2013 in the Best World Music Album category for "Savor Flamenco".

Gipsy Kings, together with the legendary group founder Tonino Baliardo, are continuing their world tour with the "Historia Tour", presenting new work and the greatest Gipsy Kings hits. The group performs in Europe, North and South America, the United Arab Emirates, and this year held exclusive performances at prestigious international events, including the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The tour marks a new chapter in the group's history. In 2026, a new album "Historia" (released May 29) is being presented, accompanied by the single "Caballero". It is a sound that naturally complements the group's creative legacy and fits perfectly alongside their biggest hits, as Gipsy Kings always feel best where music inspires, provides energy, and invites you to dance.

The concert program will feature tracks that the Gipsy Kings name has been associated with for decades – the legendary "Bamboleo", "Volare", "Baila Me", as well as "Djobi, Djoba" and "Un Amor". These are songs whose choruses the audience knows by heart and naturally joins in to sing and clap along to the rhythm.

Tonino Baliardo is the founder and leader of the group Gipsy Kings, a world-renowned guitar virtuoso and composer. He wrote and produced the group's biggest hits, such as "Bamboleo" and "Djobi Djoba".

In recent years, Tonino was awarded a platinum disc for his duet with Takagi & Ketra and a triple platinum disc for the track "Ingobernable", recorded together with C. Tangana.

He has performed in prestigious world venues: Radio City Music Hall in New York, the Hollywood Bowl and Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Olympia in Paris. In one interview, Tonino said: "We started in Saint-Tropez with our guitars, and since then we have traveled the whole world. Music has no borders, and our music is universal." This is likely the secret to their success that has lasted for more than 30 years – an eternity in the world of music.
