The GRAMMY award-winning Gipsy Kings tour is coming to The Buddy Holly Hall in Lubbock, Texas, on February 18, 2024! Nicolas Reyes has been the leader and co-founder of the Gipsy Kings for well over 30 years.

The band’s music went on to fuse with popular culture as well as hitting the big screen. Their rendition of “Hotel California” was included in the film The Big Lebowski and the HBO series Entourage. The 2010 film, Toy Story 3, featured a Gipsy Kings version of the movie’s popular, Randy Newman-penned theme, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”

The Gipsy Kings’ music extends through generations to the sounds of their ancestors—Spanish Romani people who fled the Catalonia region during the Spanish Civil War—and reflects the vibrantly eclectic and peripatetic history of the gitano.
