Eurovision Song Contest 1990. Zagreb. Yugoeslavia.

Bandido. Flamenco tecno rumba.

"Bandido" (Spanish pronunciation: , "Bandit"), written by José Luis Abel and composed by Raúl Orellana and Jaime Stinus, was Spain's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1990, performed by the sister duo Azúcar Moreno. It was covered by Aşkın Nur Yengi, Turkish singer as "Zehir Gibisin" ("You're like a poison" in Turkish) in her second album, Hesap Ver (Explain in Turkish), which was released in 1991.

[B]Internal selection
Televisión Española (TVE), the national broadcaster of Spain, used an internal selection process to choose Azúcar Moreno, who were becoming popular by combining traditional Spanish flamenco roots with urban contemporary musical styles, in this case electronic music. The song chosen to go with them to Zagreb, Croatia (then Yugoslavia), "Bandido", was produced by Raúl Orellana, one of the most respected dance music producers in Spain. The studio recording includes the spoken intro "Ladies and gentlemen, it's showtime at the Apollo Theater. Everybody, the hardest-working man in show business", sampled from James Brown's 1963 album Live at the Apollo.

Technical difficulties
One notable aspect of the performance was due to a technical glitch, in that one of the backing tracks started in a later position than expected. The two singers started their choreographed dance before the song, realized the tape was in the wrong position, and abruptly walked offstage in a huff, leaving viewers to wonder what had happened. After the two left the stage, BBC commentator Terry Wogan remarked, "Let's hope it doesn't go on like this or we're in for a very long night, ladies and gentlemen. After two minutes, during which the arena became silent, the sisters returned and the song was then performed in its entirety without a hitch. In 2003, BBC chose "Bandido," and all the events and difficulties surrounding the performance, as one of the most memorable moments in Eurovision history.

Chart success
After the contest, "Bandido," as a single and album, propelled Azúcar Moreno to superstardom not only in Spain, but also in Europe and Latin America, where they continued to have success for the next decade.

The Gipsy Kings are a group of flamenco, salsa and pop musicians from Arles and Montpellier in the south of France, who perform in Andalusian Spanish. Although group members were born in France, their parents were mostly gitanos, Spanish gypsies who fled Catalonia during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. They are known for bringing Catalan rumba, a pop-oriented music distantly derived from traditional flamenco music, to worldwide audiences. The group originally called itself Los Reyes.

Their music has a particular rumba flamenca style, with pop influences; many songs of the Gipsy Kings fit social dances, such as salsa and rumba. Their music has been described as a place where "Spanish flamenco and gypsy rhapsody meet salsa funk".

Maruja Garrido.

Do you know who is this great artist, already retired, born in Caravaca de la Cruz (Murcia) in the difficult forties, the postwar times? Maruja Garrido was the artist who transformed rumba into a force of nature. Of flamenco essence, as befits her heritage: her father, El Niño de Levante, accompanied singing Carmen Amaya herself. Transferred to Barcelona she forms with her sister the duo "Las Cartageneras", which Juanito Valderrama would baptize. Later, already alone, she was the queen of tablao Los Tarantos.

He was the third child of the gypsy couple formed by Manuel Vargas Torres "Chamona" and Francisca Jiménez Ramírez, "Frasquita" Diego's daughter "Gaspar's" and sister of Manuel de Angustias. The Jiménez were known in Utrera, above all, because they had a meat board in the Mercado de Abastos. Miguel studied at the Salesian Schools of Utrera and was part of the Consolation Choir in his childhood, in an annex to the sanctuary that houses the patron saint of the city. In his adolescence he worked as a hairdresser with his father and in other Utrera barber shops. By then, in the mid-fifties, he was attracted to flamenco singing and dancing. Participated in the family parties of the community calé, organized for weddings, baptisms or sayings that had as protagonists close relatives.

Peret

Pedro Pubill Calaf (Spanish: [ˈpeðɾo] Catalan: [puˈβiʎ kəˈlaf]; 24 March 1935 – 27 August 2014),[1][2] better known as Peret, was a catalan Romani singer, guitar player and composer of Catalan rumba from Mataró (Barcelona).

Known for his 1971 single, "Borriquito" (Ariola Records), Peret represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 with the song "Canta y sé feliz" and performed during the closing ceremony at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.[3] In 2001, Peret recorded and released Rey De La Rumba (King of the Rumba) an album of updated versions of his older songs with guest musicians including Jarabe de Palo, El Gran Silencio, David Byrne of the Talking Heads, and more.

In 1982 Peret withdrew from the music industry, joining the Iglesia Evangélica de Filadelfia, a large religious community of the Spanish Roma (gypsies) devoting himself in the following years exclusively to preaching and religious activities. After leaving the church in 1991, he resumed his music activity and recorded new albums. In 1992, he was honored for all his body of work when he sang as representative of Catalonia at the Olympic Games in Barcelona during the closing ceremonies.

Peret died in Barcelona in 2014 from lung cancer, aged 7

"El Pescaílla" (pescadilla):Hake breeding. Marigolds are sold whole and sometimes they are fried curled biting the tail

Antonio González Batista, better known as El Pescaílla (asked to be called Pescadilla) 1 (Barcelona, March 3, 1922 - Alcobendas, Madrid, November 12, 1999), was a gypsy Spanish flamenco singer, guitarist and composer and rumba. Considered one of the fathers of the Catalan rumba, although his style had more flamenco nuances than that of the current Catalan rumba released by Peret in the mid-1950s. His style and way of interpreting and playing the guitar is still a Today reference of all the artists of this musical genre.

He was married to singer and dancer Lola Flores (1923-1995), with whom he had three children, singers Lolita Flores (1958), Antonio Flores (1961-1995) and Rosario Flores (1963). His granddaughters are actresses Elena Furiase (daughter of Lolita) and Alba Flores (daughter of Antonio). He was brother-in-law to the singer Carmen Flores and uncle of former soccer player and coach Quique Sánchez Flores.

They are pure gypsies. The mixes between gypsies and non-gypsies in Spain were very difficult due to socio-cultural issues. It is possible that at present not only in Spain but in the rest of the West it is easier for them to occur than in times past or a few decades ago.

Joaquín Albaicín

One of the most prominent figures of the gypsy people who carry the letters in their blood is Joaquín Albaicín. Not only has he written some tremendously recommended works, but he is also a regular writer in media spaces such as ABC or El País. In 1997 he published an essential work for the studies of the gypsy people, In Pos del Sol: Gypsies in history, myth and legend. Here, Albaicín explains the origin of the gypsy people, many are unaware that they happened thanks to three major migrations that took place in India. Legends, myths, stories, anthropology, ethnology ... a gypsy author to take into account.

Antonio Ortega Rubio

Antonio Ortega Rubio is a writer and also a journalist, who may have read as a critic of flamenco or in any of his many multifaceted works and who highlights the author as a person with many literary qualities. In his book of poetry, Inverse, he emphasizes his sincerity, since it is still a work in which the author himself reveals his thoughts and reflections throughout his life. We also recommend his novel La Zúa, which takes us to the 70s in an urbanization in Seville where crime is concentrated, from the perspective of a child who has to live with very adverse situations.

José Heredia

Impossible to make a list with prestigious gypsy authors without including José Heredia Maya, an authentic institution of the letters whose gypsy origin left a generation marked. His story as an author was born in 1976 with the play Camelamos Naquerar, an ode to the art of flamenco. This type of works encumbran him as one of the main characters when claiming and fighting for the rights of the gypsies. Some works that we recommend reading from José Heredia are Macama Jonda or Sueño Terral. He died in 2010 with the honor of being the first gypsy professor in the history of Spain.

They look pretty mixed. Theyre probably so mixed theyre more spanish than gypsie

They probably arrived quite mixed with people from the Middle East and Eastern Europe. It is likely that during their journeys diverse people who had nothing joined them and were not only a race but a way of life, a marginal group, so in the north there are many blond "gypsies".

Apparently many Andalusian Moors avoided expulsion by taking refuge with them, and that's why their flamenco music sounds Arabic

[Gallop]

Andalusí moors no Andalusians moors.

At the time of Al-Andalus the region or Spanish autonomy of Andalusia does not exist. I don't know if the English language has different gentilicios for Al-Andalus and Andalusia because they are different things.

I think it's amazing that Do Pelayo believes this kind of confusion.

The Gipsy Kings is a television program aired on Cuatro. Its premiere took place on Sunday, February 8, 2015


Gypsies make 'The Gipsy Kings' the phenomenon of the season

The program becomes strong in Catalonia or Andalusia, where more than half of the Roma population in Spain resides

Despite the criticism received by gypsy associations such as Fakali (Federation of Gypsy and University Women), which described the space as "sensational and perverse product that encourages racism and discrimination", the truth is that the Roma population seems to support massive form the format. A causality relationship has not been established, although the analysis of audience data shows a clear relationship: in the communities where a greater number of gypsies reside the program shines brighter.
