Mosaïque

(Redirected from Mosaique)

Mosaïque is the fourth studio album by the Gipsy Kings, released in 1989 in Europe and Canada. The main difference between the two versions is the replacement of the instrumental "Bossamba" on the European release with "Niña morena" on the North American release. The track order also differs between the two versions, and they contain different recordings of the songs "Caminando por la calle", "Trista pena", and "Vamos a bailar".
