The Original Gipsies set for the Children of the 80s opening

The original members of the Gypsy Kings take over the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza.

The Original Gypsies of Camargue, former legendary members of the Gypsy Kings, are back and ready to get your groove on with a blast from the past. Children of the 80s launches into the 2018 season with the ultimate trip down memory lane on its opening party.

Responsible for some of the most memorable 1980s anthems, the Reyes siblings Patchai, Paul and Canut, plus brother-in-law Chico Bouchikhi, are still at it as The Original Gypsies. Rolling flamenco, salsa and pop into a unique style, they took the world by storm.

As they continue to tour globally three decades later, on Friday 1 June, they will play at the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza together with Dream3team Reload and La Movida. Together, they will be making sure you have the time of your life at the opening of this crowd-favourite.
