The Gypsy Kids perform 'Aire' by Sardana/Andrada, and 'Zigeunernacht', composition of Jimmy Rosenberg, at the time of the recording 11 years old! At the end of the video you can see the first start of their performance where Jimmy broke a string.

We want to share this special footage of the young Jimmy Rosenberg. Recorded in the year … We treasure this performance of a child prodigy with a promising career ahead of him. Michael Jackson called the talented gypsy guitarist “the rising morning star” and Paco de Lucia, Eric Clapton and Tomatito were his biggest fans. This exceptional talent is portrayed in documentary films, and his albums are amazing snaphots of the young master at work. At his best he played the guitar like no other before him, but there were nights when he could barely play at all. A life full of ups-and-downs due to a serious battle he had with drugs.
The latest news on Jimmy is: he is back on the track!
