Hi Meli,
A generous friend gave me her copy of the CD "Gitan Poete." I found a place online where you can listen to "Yo te lo digo cantando," the same recording as on the album. (Note: on the album liner notes the song titles are in French, so it's called "Je te le dit en chantant.") It's on Facebook, the page called "Kisses for Nicolas Reyes (Gipsy Kings)." Scroll down to a post from December 4, 2009, from Saif H. AlMushhadani. Saif created a video slide show to illustrate the song, with photos of Nicolas and the other Gipsy Kings, most from recent years, none from the early Los Reyes years. I saw / heard this before I got "Gitan Poete." Since it's illustrated by these recent photos, when I listened to the song I imagined Nicolas singing it as a more mature man, not making the connection with the early date of "Gitan Poete."
The title song from "Gitan Poete," with José as the lead singer, can be found on YouTube. The first one is illustrated by a clear still photo of the album cover:

It starts with a photo of the album cover, but that photo is blurry, which is why I included the first link.
