It’s been 20 years since the Gipsy Kings hit the world stage with “Bamboleo,” their infectious flamenco-infused single. The Grammy Award-winning Kings, Roma musicians from France by way of Spain, have traveled the world since then playing what is best described as rumba flamenco with pop and salsa influences. See them today at 8 p.m. Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands. For information, call 281-363-3300 or visit pavilion.woodlandscenter.org. $20 to $65.
