I really like the duet on "Andrea" with Mario Reyes. I've been trying to get a Gypsy King CD with Mario singing but so far I can't find one. Can anyone help? thanks

A lot of very good information about the Gipsy Kings - as well as links to additional informative sites - can be found at http://www.gipsykings.net/gkfaq.html:

WHO ARE LOS REYES?

There have been several combinations of Los Reyes since the time when Jose formed Jose Y Los Reyes with his sons. The current Los Reyes are a group formed from cousins of the Gipsy Kings: Antonico Reyes, Mario Reyes and Toni Reyes are the consistent members on all four CDs (see recommended). There is an ongoing controversy about their use of the "Los Reyes" name and its alleged intent to pretend to be the original group. Note - the CD Les Stes Maries de la Mer, although it is the "old" Los Reyes with Canut, Paul,and Nicolas (but without Jose) is credited to Los Reyes. And yet a different lineup of Reyes is found on Gipsy Kings of Music: Antonico, Canut, Manuel, Patchai and Toni.

It lists these Los Reyes CDs:

Jose Y Los Reyes: Gitane Poete, Cantaor de la Camarge, L'Amour d'Un Jour

Los Reyes: Les Stes Maries de la Mer

Los Reyes: Gipsy Kings of Music

Los Reyes : Gipsy Legend (same as Fuego), Tarot, Gipsy Xmas

Thanks for the info. Are you saying that Mario is singing in the 4 Los Reyes CDs you listed?

That's the way I interpreted it, yes - but I don't know it for a fact.
