Gipsy Kings and Guy Manoukian will perform in January 2026.


The Grammy Award-winning group Gipsy Kings and renowned Lebanese-Armenian pianist Guy Manoukian are set to perform at Maraya Concert Hall in AlUla on 2 January 2026. From 7pm to midnight, audiences will be entranced by flamenco rhythms and lilting Middle Eastern melodies.

The chart-topping Gipsy Kings will return to Saudi Arabia, bringing their rumba, salsa and flamenco rhythms to AlUla. Led by founder André Reyes, they successfully combine cultural tradition with modern energy. The group will fuse Catalan rumba, flamenco, pop, salsa, rock and Latin rhythms under one roof, in a concert venue and architectural hotspot that reflects the glamour of AlUla.

With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, their self-titled 1987 album Gipsy Kings was a global phenomenon, charting for 40 weeks in the US and achieving gold and platinum status in several countries. The album features some of their most beloved tracks, including Bamboléo, Djobi Djoba and Un Amor.

Lebanese-Armenian pianist and composer Guy Manoukian is best known for intertwining Middle Eastern melodies with contemporary arrangements, winning over audiences worldwide at venues such as the Sydney Opera House, London Palladium and the Paris Olympia.
