The Grammy Award-winning Gipsy Kings and their leader / founder Tonino Baliardo have been groundbreakers since their self-titled album back in 1987, a time when the charts were devoid of non-English language songs, or songs inspired by world music.
Subsequent albums such as Mosaïque and Este Mundo continued their success, bringing together core flamenco sound with Latin influences, Pop and touches of Reggae and Jazz.
The Gipsy Kings Featuring Tonino Baliardo family (including his sons Cosso and Mikeal) are still busy and have announced new album, Historia, for release on May 15, 2026. They have launched the album by sharing the lead single “Señorita.”
A U.S. tour has been announced for Spring 2026. Beginning March in California, the dates follow both West and East Coasts.
Tonino Baliardo says of “Señorita”:
I am delighted that ‘Señorita’ is going to be the first single taken from our forthcoming album Historia. Music and dance are a fundamental part of Gipsy culture. As a child I spent many hours with Gipsy families and my own, playing our guitars, singing with the young girls dancing, and enjoying that special moment. It has been an idea for a few years to write a song with a strong rhythm and joyful chorus to capture those early wonderful memories of my youth. It fits perfectly into the Historia album as it reflects the many influences and ideas on the new record.
He continues about the album:
I have been recording albums with the Gipsy Kings for over 40 years, so with Historia, I wanted it to have an adventurous spirit. At the same time, Historia is about the story of the Gipsy Kings, and what happened when ‘Bamboléo’ and ‘Djobi, Djoba’ became global hits. We were ambitious. We knew we were good. But we never expected everything that happened.
Gipsy Kings featuring Tonino Baliardo will end 2025 by playing a New Year’s Eve show in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Further plans for 2026 include a North American headline tour, and the premiere of a documentary on the band which will be released on Amazon Prime.
