Grand Prix weekend in Monaco hosted events across the Principality from land to sea, bringing together exclusive celebrations during the Principality’s most iconic weekend of the year. On Friday evening, the rooftop of Rose de France welcomed guests for a private screening of the documentary Gipsy Kings Featuring Tonino Baliardo, followed by an intimate live performance by the Gipsy Kings themselves.
Rose de France hosted a full weekend of Grand Prix celebrations, though this evening stood out as one of its highlights. This documentary explores the history and heritage behind the music of the Gipsy Kings, while highlighting the story of the group and its members over decades of success. Writer and director Joel Van der Molen attended the occasion, told Monaco Life: “While I am in Monaco making another film, I thought it was the perfect occasion for the Gypsy Kings to perform.”
Marking the group’s first-ever performance during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, the evening felt all the more special. As the sun set over Port Hercule, guests gathered on the rooftop for performances of well-known hits including ‘Bamboléo’ and ‘Volare’, carrying the energy of the day into the evening hours.
The intimate setting added to the atmosphere, creating a more personal experience for guests during a fast-paced, busy weekend. With stunning views over Port Hercule, attendees sang along and danced throughout the performance, while nearby residents stepped onto their balconies to take in the music from afar.
The evening offered a different side to Grand Prix weekend, one focused on a more intimate atmosphere, as live music and views over Port Hercule closed out the day.
