Nicolas Reyes has been the leader and co-founder of the Gipsy Kings for well over 30 years. In the past three decades, they have dominated the World Music charts and sold more than 14 million albums worldwide. Their platinum compilation, The Best of the Gipsy Kings, was charting for over a year upon its release and their ninth studio album, Savor Flamenco, was awarded the Grammy® for Best World Music Album in 2013. This iconic legacy began when Nicolas’ father, Jose Reyes, formed a celebrated flamenco duo with Manitas de Plata (which boasted fans as famed as Miles Davis and Pablo Picasso). When the pair parted ways, the elder Reyes became even more popular upon starting his own band, backed by his son, called Los Reyes. In later years, Nicolas headed out on his own and began playing in the town of Arles in the south of France. He traveled throughout the country, busking on the streets of Saint-Tropez, playing wherever he could. Having adopted the perpetual motion of the gypsy lifestyle, his band eventually translated “Los Reyes” and became the Gipsy Kings. The band’s music went on to fuse with popular culture. In addition to the accolades above, the traveling Gipsy Kings have played some of the world’s greatest stages, from the Hollywood Bowl to Royal Albert Hall as well as hitting the big screen. Their rendition of “Hotel California” was included in the film The Big Lebowski and the HBO series Entourage. The 2010 film Toy Story 3 featured a Gipsy Kings version of the movie’s popular, Randy Newman-penned theme, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”. The Gipsy Kings recently featured in a Big Lebowski spinoff The Jesus Rolls with Reyes appearing in person with the director and star, John Turturro, for some of the promotion. As active as this remarkable collective remains, they are also confident in the future of their legacy. “Even though it’s been 30 years, we want to keep on making new music because it’s our life. It’s who we are,” says Nicolas Reyes. “But I think there will be a time when we pass down the Gipsy Kings to our sons”. 30 years is an eternity in pop music, but the story of the Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes has the depth to endure. Theirs is a music that extends through generations, to the sounds of their ancestors – Spanish Romani people who fled the Catalonia region during the Spanish Civil War &ndash ;and reflects the vibrantly eclectic and peripatetic history of the gitanos. *Note: the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this program.

Federal employee unions are fervently supporting Kamala Harris for president, in part because they like her pro-labor policies, but just as much because they fear a second Trump term.

Breath, Movement and The Aura Workshop There is a majestic yet mysterious power that is the divine motion of evolution. This spiritual energy is the activity of spirit, and we are all participating in its great cosmic dance. This sacred power goes by the ancient name of Fohat. It is Fohat that stirs souls into action. We embody Fohat according to our ability to be creatively active. In this dynamic time as humanity is being given unprecedented opportunity to unfold its spiritual potential, we are called to greater action: spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. Complementing divine movement is the metaphysical qualities of breath. We breath to stay alive, yet there is a holy breath that permeates the universe. It is through the holy breath that all the divine rhythms of life are generated. Through breath and movement, you integrate and engage the energies of your auric field into greater creative expression. Celebrating the 25th anniversary edition of the international bestseller Change Your Aura, Change Your Life this ground-breaking workshop, led by Dimitri Moraitis, will explore meditations, breathing and movement exercises that enhance your auric field and help you to more deeply embody the attributes of the Divine Light. When you live in harmony with the holy breath and Fohat, all aspects of life—physical, mental and spiritual—flow in greater divine rhythm and you are more motivated and productive. Discover: - How your aura is the energetic blueprint of your soul, and how through the power of your aura you manifest everything. - Movements that enhance the aura and movements that can disturb the auric power. - The auric perspective on spiritual movement practices such as hatha yoga, Qi Gong, and Paneurhythmy. - The essential role that your emotions play in harnessing the power of Fohat and motion. - Understanding the dynamics of your spiritual unfoldment. - Please note: Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to do simple, gentle physical movements.
