Chico Bouchikhi talks about good times and bad as he prepares to join original members of the Gypsy Kings at the Womadelaide festival.
Bouchikhi co-wrote Bamboléo and said the song was inspired by the private parties the band attended along the French Riviera,"sometimes accompanied by Brigitte Bardot, our friend".
The Original Gypsies, which also includes original members Paul and Canut Reyes, claim not to know much musical theory and don't concern themselves with major or minor keys.
