"Fuego Del Amor"- the first song of a Bulgarian artist with the name of Gipsy Kings

JOEF Gipsy Kings Family have recorded "Fuego Del Amor" - a song with Bulgarian singer Sandra Alexandrova. The story of the song actually started three years ago, when Sandra and her producer Artur Nadosyan visited Nice - there they met the Joef Gipsy Kings Family, dubbed "the kings of flamenco" - the descendants of the great family of the legendary Gipsy Kings. 

Sandra, who also gained popularity from her participation in "The Voice of Bulgaria", and Artur Nadosyan have been working together for 11 years. Arthur is the author of songs performed by star singers such as Lili Ivanova, Orlin Goranov, Yordanka Hristova, Silvia Katsarova and many others. Artur is a Bulgarian citizen originally from Armenia, where Joef's wife is from. The friendship that quickly developed also led to a guest appearance by the Gipsy Kings Family in Bulgaria, where they had the opportunity to perform improvised music with Sandra for the first time. 

The renowned musicians were so delighted by performing live with her that they decided to create a collaborative song. So Arthur wrote "Fuego Del Amor" - "The Fire of Love". This is the first song of a Bulgarian artist with the great family of Gypsy Kings!

The original idea was to have the text only in Spanish, but Sandra and Arthur insisted on having it in Bulgarian as well - so that the Bulgarian language could be heard outside Bulgaria. So Sandra added native speech to Joef's text. This is also very pleasing to the Gipsy Kings Family and now she and Arthur are preparing a complete project - an album, the first song of which is "Fuego Del Amor". 

Three more collaborative songs are currently in the works. And at the promotional concert Joef Gypsy Kings Family will also perform several famous Bulgarian songs in flamenco style. 

While these plans are coming to life, we are offering you to listen to "Fuego Del Amor" - "The Fire of Love"!
