Grammy-Winning Group Gipsy Kings Films Music Video at Ancient Temple of Apollo in Turkey
The iconic Gipsy Kings, led by Andre Reyes, have recently filmed a new music video at the ancient Temple of Apollo in Didim, Turkey. The group's unique blend of flamenco, rumba, pop, and Latin music was captured in this historic and mystical setting along the Turkish Riviera.
The Temple of Apollo, with its towering columns and deep roots in classical antiquity, serves as a symbol of ancient Greek heritage in western Turkey. For the Gipsy Kings, this location holds a special significance. According to Reyes, performing at the Temple of Apollo was an unforgettable experience.
The Gipsy Kings rose to international prominence with their 1987 self-titled album and have since earned critical acclaim for albums such as Love and Liberte and Savor Flamenco. They are widely recognized for their versions of well-known English-language songs like I've Got No Strings, Hotel California, and My Way, which they have adapted into their unique style of Catalan Rumba.
Regarding their upcoming tour in Turkey, the Gipsy Kings will perform in September and October 2025 in several cities, including Izmir, Bursa, Istanbul, Samsun, Ankara, Antalya, Mersin, and Gaziantep. Andre Reyes emphasized their strong connection to Turkish audiences, saying every visit feels like coming home, and that the energy of the people inspires their performances.
The Gipsy Kings' music video at the Temple of Apollo showcases a connection between the group and Turkey. The video shoot at the Temple of Apollo highlighted the mystical atmosphere of the temple, providing a fitting backdrop for the group's energetic and passionate performance.
The Gipsy Kings were formed in 1978 by members of a nomadic community who resettled in southern France after fleeing Spain during the civil war of the 1930s. Their sense of family is what makes their music authentic and enduring. The energy and love of their audiences give them the strength to keep going.
