In response the Gypsy Allstars a super group founded by Gipsy Kings former drummer Ced Leonardi and Gipsy Kings family members George (the son of Gipsy Kings founder Nicolas) and Mario Reyes are joined by the Spanish flamenco legend Antonio Carmona -as well as other European gypsies- they fuse traditional Rumba with Indian Alap or as they say: 'Bomboleo meets Bollywood'. Return to Rajasthan follows this amazing musical and cultural journey as they negotiate the common land and wide gulfs between them from the studio in Los Angeles; to Gipsy Kings' home in Camargue, France; Antonio Carmona's home in Andalusia, Spain; the Gypsy Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany; and migration gateway in Istanbul, Turkey before travelling to their ancestral home in Jodhpur, India to work with local artists to record an album. This will be showcased at the Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF) - the largest and most experimental in the world. Return to Rajasthan has been developed by Hedway Inc and Story Inc. Asia.
