The Gypsy All Stars have built on the legacy of the legendary Gipsy Kings, a band that emerged out of the South of France in the early 1980s when the Reyes and Baliardos families garnered world acclaim for music featuring Gypsy beats and sensual rhythms.

Described as Gipsy Kings-rumba-meets-India-folk music, the Gypsy All Stars includes a fusion-music super group of musicians. In addition to Reyes and Leonardi, the show at The Daniel will feature Zakir Hussein tabla prodigy Salar Nader, guitarist Alfredo Cáceres, bassist Hadrien Feraud, singer Amy Keys and Flamenco dancer Arleen Hurtado.

The Gypsy All Stars have also been invited to perform at The Kennedy Center in Washington on September 12, 2014 and are set to be showcased on upcoming specials on PBS and the Discovery Channel. The band also has swung through some West Coast dates on its visit to the United States.

Playing in the U.S. has helped the band build on the momentum it created last fall with a headline performance at the Rajasthan International Folk Festival. During this performance, the Gypsy All Stars played, for the first time, with Rajasthani folk musicians. The infusion of Indian folk music into their sound has drawn universal praise and acclaim.

We at The Daniel can promise you, listening to the Gypsy All Stars marry the classical gypsy sound with Indian folk music in an amazing collaboration is a truly unique experience. The band is full of incredible musicians and makes for an incredible act.

While the Gypsy All Stars are a huge hit in Asia and parts of Europe, U.S. audiences are only just now discovering the band. The Daniel is proud to help bring this cultural exchange and fusion musical experience to American ears.

We feel that bringing the Gypsy All Stars to perform in Maine is a reflection of the cultural collaboration we seek in combining Western processes with Eastern hospitality at The Daniel.

The September 19 show at the Coast Bar + Bistro will be the place to be and one of the most talked about music events in Midcoast Maine. Don’t miss it!
