The Gipsy Kings' main strength is their consistency. Throughout their career, they have managed to craft an accessible, pop-oriented version of flamenco and gypsy music that also pushes boundaries. During it all, they recorded classy, satisfying albums like
Compas. There's not much different about
Compas, but since the album is so well made and enchanting, that isn't a curse; it's a blessing. ~ Thom Owens
