Flamenco icons, the Gipsy Kings, film their latest video production at the Temple of Apollo in Turkey.

The Grammy-winning group Gipsy Kings recently filmed a music video at the ancient Temple of Apollo in Didim, Turkey, creating a captivating fusion of flamenco, rumba, pop, and Latin music against the temple's distinctive backdrop[1][2][3].

The Temple of Apollo, located along the scenic Turkish Riviera, is one of antiquity’s most iconic landmarks. Constructed between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, the temple is an important example of ancient Greek Ionic architecture and was a major religious center dedicated to Apollo, the god of music, prophecy, and healing in Greek mythology[1][2][3].

This ancient site, with its towering columns and deep roots in classical antiquity, provided an unforgettable setting for the Gipsy Kings' video shoot. The mystical ambience of the temple added depth and atmosphere to the performance, creating a unique blend of the past and the present[1][2][3].

The Gipsy Kings, led by Andre Reyes, have earned multiple Grammy nominations and have been widely recognised for their versions of I've Got No Strings, Hotel California, and My Way, as well as their albums such as Love and Liberte and Savor Flamenco[1][2][3]. The band was formed in 1978 by a nomadic community who resettled in southern France after fleeing Spain during the civil war of the 1930s. They rose to international prominence with their 1987 self-titled album[1][2][3].

Andre Reyes emphasized their deep connection with Turkey, stating that the band feels at home in the country. The energy and love of the audiences give the Gipsy Kings the strength to keep going[1][2][3]. As part of their upcoming tour, the Gipsy Kings will perform in several Turkish cities, including Izmir, Bursa, Istanbul, Samsun, Ankara, Antalya, Mersin, and Gaziantep throughout September and October[1][2][4].

The Temple of Apollo, with its symbolic connection to music and prophecy, serves as a fitting location for the Gipsy Kings' music. Their performance at the temple reflects the band's ability to blend tradition and innovation, creating a unique and captivating sound that resonates with audiences worldwide[1][2][3].
