How is he Catalan??

from catalan wiki:

Biografia[modifica | modifica el codi]
Kendji Girac es va donar a conèixer per internet el 2013 amb una versió de Bella, de Maître Gims, a l'estil gipsy, el vídeo de la qual va tenir més de 5 milions de visites a YouTube. Això li va permetre presentar-se al concurs Te Voice de TF1 i, finalment, guanyar-lo. En acabar el concurs, el primer ministre francès, Manuel Valls, el va felicitar en català i van intercanviar unes paraules en la llengua materna de tots dos.[2][3][4] El tercer clip de l'àlbum Kendji –"Elle m'a aimé"– comença amb una conversa en català entre ell i un amic pels carrers antics de Barcelona, ciutat on es va rodar íntegrament el clip.[2] Girac segueix la tradició d'altres músics francesos –com Manitas de Plata i els Gipsy Kings– que viuen amb normalitat la seva condició de gitanos catalanoparlants.[1]

That does not mean he is of Catalan ancestry, just that PERHAPS some of his ancestors lived in Catalonia. It is different.

His ancestors are Gypsies from Catalonia, "catalan gypsy".

:rolleyes: curious definition but well. Or what is the same, he has 0% Catalan blood.

All gypsy have some degree of "local" blood.

check the study about them, posted by the gypsy guy here.

anyway my title was subjective. when I said catalan, I mean they came from catalonia.

hummm, let me to have serious doubts about this. In some countries like UK there are Gypsies very mixed with the native population (Michael Caine for example) but here in Spain there are a lot of pure Gypsies.

Yes I know, I just wanted to clarify.

There is no pure Gypsy, they are a mixture of South-Asian and Euro, the Romanian and Turkish one being the least "European" and the ones from Wales being the more European, the other are in between.

[Arbërori]

Is he really Gipsy? I can't tell.

Alpinid-Pontid.

[Comte Arnau]

There are quite a few Catalan Gypsies, specially in French Catalonia, but they've usually got a Catalan surname, like Peret (Pere Pubill Calaf) did. Thing is, I don't find Girac to be a Catalan surname at all. If it is, it must be a very uncommon local one.

Girac is an French city

[baemax]

He looks very southern european, he could very much be catalan but the same as he could be Italian, Greek or Portuguese, they all have similar looks :)

This Gypsy, Diego el Cigala, does he looks mixed to you?

I dont know, but here in Spain Gypsies are clearly recognizable.
If Welsh Gypsies dont show any kind of Indian how can you be sure they are really Gypsies?

His family name is Maillé.
