If you're in a melancholy sort of mood -- and don't want to be

this might help. I does the trick for me.

4 live recordings of the Gipsy Kings from "Gipsy Kings Live", a great album. Lively, upbeat, and puts me in a good mood. It was surprisingly hard to find good quality live videos of these guys. I had to compromise in choosing each version. I wish Jonathan Demme would have made concert documentary of these guys after he made "Stop Making Sense".

First is "La Quiero" Nicolas Reyes does most of the lead vocals, but here it's his brother Canut who looks the part and adds some intensity to the group image. They're all brothers and cousins btw.

Next, "Bem, Bem, Maria". Volume is low here, so you'll have to turn up your speakers a fair amount.

Then, "Bamboleo". I usually don't like audience participation much, but they sound great on this one. The studio version sounds flat in comparison. (don't forget to turn the speakers back down)

Last is an instrumental with Tonino Baliardo on lead guitar(the only non-acoustic). "Galaxia"
