Estrellas is the seventh studio album by the Gipsy Kings released in 1995 in Europe and a year later in the United States, under the title Tierra Gitana.[3][4]

Overview

[edit]

The album was later released as Tierra Gitana in the United States, albeit with a different song order. The only differences are the replacement of the song "Los Peces en el Rio" for the instrumental song "Forever"; the song "Mujer" is also slightly different. Also, "A Tu Vera" is a different version than the one that appeared on The Best of the Gipsy Kings.
