On the local forum I read that these guys are not the REAL Gipsy Kings!
I called the organizers of the concert and they tried to convince me that the real Gipsy Kings will come to Almaty! The ticket prices were between 45 and 210 USD and it made me almost believe them!
The official website of the band does not say a word about their tour to Almaty and they will be performing in Orlando instead. I read also that so -called "Gipsy Kings and Manolo" are fake and it is not the first time they posing as Gipsy Kings. Who knows, maybe next time we will have a chance to see and hear Elvis Presley live ;) Nothing is impossible in Kazakhstan!

Typical scam to copy the name of a famous band. I had a friend whose son was trying to open a car import company. He wanted to register the name Mercedes Kazakhstan Trade, even though he planned to import Japanese cars! But he said Mercedes was such a prestigious name it would get him good business. Who would be fooled?

ReplyDeleteI think these guys played in Yerevan, Armenia in May 2009.
