ONE OF the world’s most iconic and uplifting Latin outfits took to the Royal International Pavilion stage on Friday night.
Grammy award-winning Gipsy Kings featuring Andre Reyes, wowed the crowd with their infectious rhythms and virtuoso guitar playing.
Festival-goers put on their dancing shoes for an evening of vibrant rumba, flamenco and salsa that brought the ultimate Friday night party vibe to the Llangollen Eisteddfod.
