'''''Allegria''''' (Italian; "joy") is the debut studio album by the [Gipsy Kings](/source/Gipsy_Kings), released in 1982 in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|title=Allegria|url=http://www.discogs.com/Gipsykings-Los-Reyes-Allegria/master/87933|website=[Discogs](/source/Discogs)|publisher=discogs.com|accessdate=25 December 2015}}</ref>

==Overview==
This album and its successor, ''[Luna de Fuego](/source/Luna_de_Fuego)'', are very different from their later albums. They are both "unplugged" and traditional, using solely guitars, voices, and hand claps. The album includes two songs never released on a U.S. album ("Pharaon" and "Recuerda") and the original acoustic version of "[Djobi Djoba](/source/Djobi_Djoba)".

In 1990, the album was merged with ''[Luna de Fuego](/source/Luna_de_Fuego)'', while omitting certain tracks for a re-release to a US audience as ''[Allegria (US Version)](/source/Allegria_(US_Version))''.
