One of the first world music groups to explode into the mainstream, the band eventually became a family affair, so Bouchikhi left to form his own group, and the results are much the same. On Vagabundo, Chico & the Gypsies deliver the same impassioned sort of flamenco romanticism, adding subtle flavorful touches such as piano, bass, keyboards, and even tabla and clarinet on the hypnotic "Arles" to give their music a better-than-pedestrian allure. Fans of the Gipsy Kings may find Chico & the Gypsies to be somewhat derivative, but the truth is that, in a blind taste test, the two bands' sounds are virtually indistinguishable. Chico & The Gypsies – Vagabundo Label:EMI Electrola – 7243 8 38243 2 8 Format:CD, Album Country:Netherlands Released:1996 Genre:Electronic Style:Latin Audio CD (October 1, 1996) Number of Discs: 1 Label: Angel Records ASIN: B000002UHN Release Date 1996 Duration 43:33 Genre Latin Styles Contemporary Flamenco Western European Traditions Flamenco Worldbeat 引用By FR Format:Audio CD I purchased this CD after hearing the "Vagabundo" and "El Verano" tracks online and realized I'd never heard anything quite like it! The tracks on this well-made album basically fall into two categories: energetic, rhythmic and catchy or smooth, thoughtful ballads. "Marina" is a great remake of a classic, while "Patio" and "El Ritmo Gitano" will get your spirits soaring! Far and away, "El Verano" is the most beautiful, varied and uplifting on the album, which is quite an accomplishment.
