<p class="normal">There is good news and bad news about <i>The Best of the Gypsy Kings.</i></p>
<p class="normal">First the bad news: I cannot understand a dang words these guys are saying. Now the good news: that's okay, the whole album is in Spanish!</p>
<p class="normal">If you are like me, your Spanish is limited to the drive-thru menu at Taco Bell. But you do not have to habla espa&ntilde;ol to understand that the Gypsy Kings make enormously good music.</p>
<p class="normal">Musicianship speaks many different languages, and the intensity and infectiousness the Gypsy Kings bring to their music need no translation.</p>
<p class="normal">Songs like &quot;Baila Me&quot; (I think it means &quot;Dance with Me&quot;) and &quot;Montana&quot; (must be about some quarterback) are good examples of what the Gypsy Kings are all about: flying flamenco guitars and a soul-hurting delivery of lyrics.</p>
<p class="normal">Even if your knowledge of Spanish does not extend beyond Tierra del Fuego, the love of music displayed by the Gypsy Kings is worth checking out. Vamos, amigo!</p>
