spana, La Madre Patria! (Spain, the Mother country) is
the crib from which all Latin music has emerged and
blended with the many musical influences it has found

along it’s way, as it has traveled the globe. When it came to
selecting a CD to review for our Latin issue, what better choice than
The Gipsy Kings’ 25th anniversary release, “Savor Flamenco!”
This CD is their first album in six years and will be released this
September.

Flamenco is a form of Spanish folk music and dance from Andalusia
in southern Spain. This music grew from a combination of Andalusian
and Romani music styles in the 1700s and is often associated with the
Romani people or Gitanos (Gypsies). The Moorish tonal influences are
quite notable and the general feel of this music is passionately hot!
