RE: does anybody know what this rhyt... (in reply to johnnefastis)
thanks for reply. I wasn't clear enough in my question. He is plucking each string at the beginning separately but later he starts strumming all strings at the same time . I am interested in this later part.

It is a half time rumba, we call it “mora”. But it is related to Tangos/zambra, and you can apply it when appropriate to certain estribillos.
Here at 13:12 you see Ramon employing the rhythm, and if you check this same spot on the studio album (fuente y caudal tangos), he uses through out the end falseta (the one based on las Grecas melody).

i was thinkin on that , another Gipsy Kings from Camargue Montepelier slow Rum. normally cheesy , until Ricardo made a dissertation on that
He looks half gitane or so (the first post video) , like some French/Dutch/flemish gipsies , like Stochelo Rosenberg
The melody is nice , and the lyrics very nice These kind of song works very well on a Juerga outside of a cafe with friends , drinkin and smoking some packs
