Arles, France. The flamenco-rumba family act (the Reyes and Baliardo brothers — French Romani gypsy lineage) that turned an itinerant tradition into a global wedding-and-restaurant staple. 'Bamboléa,' 'Volare,' 'Djobi, Djoba.' Twenty-million-plus records sold. Less critically discussed than they deserve to be — the family-level flamenco-and-rumba musicianship on their records is remarkable, even if the average American listener's first encounter is at a tapas place.
