1996- The Gipsy Kings are among the most successful bands in world music today, with fifteen gold and platinum records earned over the last decade. Filmed in hi-def state-of-the-art television, this hour-long musical journey explores the bands roots, their gypsy culture and rich family heritage in flamenco music, as they perform at Washington DCs Wolf Trap and in the gypsy camps of Arles in the south of France. Tierra Gitana captures the excitement of a Gipsy Kings live show and provides a glimpse at the vanishing lifestyle of a vibrant community of traditional people.
