The Gipsy Kings take traditional Spanish Gypsy music with its flamenco roots, and add the upbeat rumba. Their brand has been called rumba catalana and Flamenco/Rumba. They became popular with their self-titled album Gipsy Kings, which included the songs "Djobi Djoba", "Bamboleo" and "Un Amor". The song "Volare" on their second album Mosaique is a rumba version of Domenico Modugno's Italian hit "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu".
