They are Portuguese
Ah, that's why I have difficulty to understand the letras. All these U ending sonority not sound familiar with the andaluz A or O (even if I aknowledge al guruguru, al guruguru, al gurugu )
Did they sing in portugues or it's more a vernacular idioms?
I recognize some letras here and there. Like at 7'30 the guy introduced the tune with a tangos letras that I heard in Rocio Marquez if I'm not mistaken...

The guitarist sang almost everything in Portuguese. That older man sang everything in Castellano. I'm assuming the other guys at the table are also Portuguese because they understood everything and were singing some parts too.
It's a mix or Portuguese and Spanish, probably the groom is from one place and the bride from the other. Badajoz is near the border and many gypsy families live on both sides (yes they never live in the same place, they are always moving around). However in the last few decades many of them have become more sedentary.
This guy is also Portuguese but performed on the streets of Cáceres for some time. I really like him, great voice and plays well too.
