Los Gipsy Kings (Reyes gitanos en castellano) son una formación musical francesa, cuyos miembros tienen ascendientes españoles, que canta en castellano una mezcla entre flamenco, pop y varias tradiciones de canción ligera como la rumba catalana. Las ventas de sus discos se estiman en más de 60 millones de copias alrededor del mundo.
Aunque los miembros del grupo son de nacionalidad francesa, sus abuelos eran emigrantes gitanos españoles que huyeron de España y emigraron a Francia durante la década de 1930 durante la Guerra Civil.
Son los máximos exponentes de la rumba flamenca española en el mundo. Su música tiene un estilo particular, con influencias del pop. Muchas canciones de los Gipsy Kings encaja en bailes sociales, como la salsa y la rumba. Su música ha sido descrita como un lugar donde "el flamenco, la rapsodia romaní y la salsa funk se reúnen".
Sus primeros sencillos fueron "Djobi Djoba" y "Bamboleo", muy populares en Francia a pesar de las críticas de los puristas del flamenco. En el año 1982 sacaron su primer disco "Allegria", "Luna de Fuego" en 1983 Pero Su álbum Gipsy Kings tuvo éxito en varios países de Europa, Latinoamérica, especialmente en Francia e Inglaterra, excepto en España. Em 1989, Gipsy Kings obtuvo un reconocimiento en Estados Unidos, el cual estuvo cuarenta semanas en las listas de éxitos, algo que muy pocos álbumes en español habían logrado. Otros álbumes son Estrellas, Mosaique, Love & Liberte y Este mundo. Su adaptación de la canción "Hotel California" fue parte de la banda sonora original de la película El gran Lebowski, así como su adaptación de la versión española de "You've Got A Friend in Me" para la banda sonora original de la película Toy Story 3(2010).
La luna se está peinando
En los espejos del río
Y un toro la está mirando
entre la jara escondido.

Cuando llega la alegre mañana,
Y la luna se escapa del río,
el torito se mete en el agua
embistiendo al ver que se ha ido.

Y ese toro enamorado de la luna,
que abandona por la noche la manada
y es pintado de amapola y aceituna
y le puso Campanero el mayoral
Los romeros de los montes le besan la frente,
Las estrellas y luceros lo bañan de plata,
Y el torito que es bravío y de casta valiente,
abanicos de colores parecen sus patas.

La luna viene esta noche, con
una bata de cola
y el toro la está esperando,
entre la jara y las sombras.

En la cara del agua del rio,
donde duerme la luna lunera
el torito celoso "perdió" la vigila

como un centinela.
HOW DOES A MOMENT LAST FOREVER

"How Does a Moment Last Forever" is a song written by lyricist Tim Rice and composer Alan Menken for the Disney live action film Beauty and the Beast(2017), a remake of the animated musical of the same name. This Broadway-inspired ballad is performed in the movie by American actor Kevin Kline in his role as Maurice. It describes the relationship between his character and that of his wife, Belle's deceased mother. Later in the film, Belle (Emma Watson) performs the song as she discovers the truth about her mother's fate. "How Does a Moment Last Forever" was also recorded by Canadian pop Singer Celine Dion, whose version was also included on the film's soundtrack, released on March 10, 2017. Her version plays over the ending credits of the film.
In the original animated film, Maurice does not sing at all. The remake, however, explores both Belle's and the Beast's past. Belle's backstory serves to build a foundation for her relationship with the Beast. For director Bill Condon, adding detail to both Belle's and the Beast's past was necessary for the audiences to understand the characters: "They're both outsiders, but how did Belle wind up being so different from everybody else in a town where nobody understands her, and how did the Beast become the person who earned that curse? That's the stuff we started to fill in", he said.
"How Does a Moment Last Forever" is a ballad and its lyrics deals with the theme of nostalgia. According to Menken, it’s about hanging on to precious moments. In Beauty and the Beast, it is performed twice, first by Maurice when he reminisces about his deceased wife and later by Belle after she discovers her mother's fate. Dion was contacted to record a pop version of the song. Although she initially had doubts, she utimately agreed because of the impact that recording "Beauty and the Beast" has had on her career. Although she was unable to promote her version, which prompted Disney to release "Evermore" as a single instead, the song has made an impact in certain countries due to the film's success at the box office. It was met with generally positive reviews from critics. However, some felt that the song is unmemorable and compared it negatively to other songs recorded by Dion for movie soundtracks.
How does a moment last forever?
How can a story never die?
It is love we must hold onto
Never easy, but we try
Sometimes our happiness is captured
Somehow, our time and place stand still
Love lives on inside our hearts and always will

Minutes turn to hours, days to years and gone
But when all else has been forgotten
Still our song lives on
Maybe some moments weren't so perfect
Maybe some memories not so sweet
But we have to know some bad times
Or our lives are incomplete
Then when the shadows overtake us
Just when we feel all hope is gone
We'll hear our song and know once more
Our love lives on

How does a moment last forever?
How does our happiness endure?
Through the darkest of our troubles
Love is beauty, love is pure
Love pays no mind to desolation
It flows like a river through the soul
Protects, proceeds and perseveres
And makes us whole
Minutes turn to hours, days to years and gone
But when all else has been forgotten
Still our song lives on
How does a moment last forever

When our song lives on.

[Celine]
I'm scared
So afraid
to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh
What if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do

[Barbra]
I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by

[Barbra & Celine]
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet

[Celine]
I'll hold him close to feel his heart beat

[Barbra]
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Touch him

[Celine]
Oooh

[Barbra]
With the gentleness you feel inside

[Celine]
I feel it

[Barbra]
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's meant to be

[Barbra & Celine]
All in time you'll see
Oooh

[Celine]
I love him

[Barbra]
Then show him

[Celine]
Of that much I can be sure

[Barbra]
Hold him close to you

[Celine]
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say

[Barbra & Celine]
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet

[Barbra]
Hold him close to feel his heart beat

[Celine]
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows

[Barbra]
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show

[Celine]
Tonight love will assume its place

[Barbra]
This memory time cannot erase

[Barbra & Celine]
Your faith will lead love where it has to go
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Whisper words so soft and sweet

[Barbra]
Hold him close to feel his heart beat

[Celine]
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Oooh

[Barbra & Celine]

Never let him go.

O grande encontro é um álbum conjunto dos cantores Elba Ramalho, Alceu Valença, Geraldo Azevedo e Zé Ramalho, lançado em 1996 e gravado ao vivo em um show realizado em julho de 1996 no Canecão, no Rio de Janeiro.
Este álbum foi o primeiro trabalho de uma trilogia, que contaria com mais dois álbuns (um de estúdio e mais um ao vivo, ambos sem a participação de Alceu Valença) e vendeu mais de 1 milhão de cópias. 
Dorme o sol à flor do chico, meio-dia
Tudo esbarra embriagado de seu lume
Dorme ponte, pernambuco, rio, bahia
Só vigia um ponto negro: o meu ciúme
O ciúme lançou sua flecha preta
E se viu ferido justo na garganta
Quem nem alegre nem triste nem poeta
Entre Petrolina e Juazeiro canta
Velho chico vens de minas
De onde o oculto do mistério se escondeu
Sei que o levas todo em ti, não me ensinas
E eu sou só, eu só, eu só, eu
Juazeiro, nem te lembras dessa tarde
Petrolina, nem chegaste a perceber
Mas, na voz que canta tudo ainda arde
Tudo é perda, tudo quer buscar, cadê
Tanta gente canta, tanta gente cala
Tantas almas esticadas no curtume
Sobre toda estrada, sobre toda sala

Paira, monstruosa, a sombra do ciúme.
