Volare - Gipsy Kings

Domenico Modugno's 'Nel blu dipinto di blu' (usually shortened to 'Volare') has been recorded by scores of artists, one cover version more successful than the other. Having heard quite a few versions by now, I would put this version by the Gipsy Kings in the 'more successful' category. 

The Gipsy Kings were perhaps best known for their hit 'Bamboleo' in 1987. The song got a silver award in the UK and became a hit all over Europe. In 1990 they recorded 'Volare' for the film 'Vanille fraise', a French film by Gerard Oury. This is also mentioned on the cover of this single. The single reached number 16 in the French singles chart and number 30 in the Dutch Top 40.
