Seen at the Luxe

Seen in the lobby this evening: The Gipsy Kings. Their music has been described as a place where "Spanish flamenco and Romani rhapsody meet salsa funk". Their 1993 album "Love and Liberte" won the Latin Grammy Award for "Best Pop Album of the Year," and contained the enduring song "Montana," an emotional account of gipsies chased from their birthplace by prejudice and persecution. Volare!
