The Gipsy Kings are hugely influential figures in the world of flamenco and, more widely, world music as a whole. They blend flamenco with a sprinkling of Latin rhythms, western pop and jazz. Comprised of two sets of brothers, the Reyes' and the Baliardos, who banded together in 1979 under the original moniker Los Reyes, the group have sold over 25 million records worldwide.

Comprised of an ensemble of students from the Windy City's immigrant barrios, Mariachi Herencia de Mexico is an exciting new mariachi outfit that formed in 2016. In the few short years of their existence, they released their first record Nuestra Herencia, which debuted at number two on the US Latino Albums Chart, opened for the likes of Lila Downs and Los Lobos, toured internationally and garnered a Latin Grammy nomination. Don't miss them when they hit the North American road on tour.
