conclusion

[Do you feel yourselves to be French?]
Tonino
Yes. Every concert, we begin by saying that we are the Gipsy Kings who come from Arles and Montpellier. I feel very French myself, it is the country where I was born, where I vote. Abroad, I feel more French than Gypsy. We should sometimes like to be regarded as ambassadors for the country of our birth. But this is far from being the case; the latest thing is Daft Punk with the helmets. Our music is more communal than theirs. But we, since 1990, we have shown the whole world that we are French, and proud of it.
Nicolas
I too, I am proud to be French. But few people out there know of it. After our concerts, when people talk to us, they ask often, if we are Spanish or Mexican.

[There is the perception that Western Gypsies are linked to the Roma. Does this pose a problem for you?]
Tonino
Hundreds of years ago, the Roma separated from us Gypsies here in the West, and the East is where they ended up. We don't seek each other out. We don't have the same language or the same culture. There is as great a difference between a Rom and a Western Gypsy as there is between somebody from Paris and somebody from Marseilles.

[What is your state of mind in this moment?]
Tonino
Our album won a Grammy award. This made us want to record another album. Well, the truth is, Facebook, Internet, we don't know how, and we're not interested in them. We would rather play music as usual and make good recordings.
Nicolas
You have to want to go on making music.
Tonino
We can't wait to see how it all turns out.

[Because the adventure is going to terminate?]
Tonino
I don't know. I really love this line of questioning...
Nicolas
Today, all is well with the group. With age, I have become a better singer, I have more experience, and I still enjoy myself. I have no desire to stop now.
