Tribe of Gypsies is the debut album by San Fernando Valley, California-based Latin rock band Tribe of Gypsies.
It was initially recorded for German indie label Dream Circle Records, then bought out by major Mercury Records after the band landed a management deal with Sanctuary's Rod Smallwood after being introduced by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson. Eventually, the band got dropped by Mercury after a regime change at the company without the album ever seeing the light of day before a licensing deal was struck with Japan's JVC/Victor Entertainment who finally released Tribe Of Gypsies in 1996.

Notable guest musicians on the album include legendary harmonica player Lee Oskar of War fame, current War drummer Sal Rodriguez, former Santana keyboardist Richard Baker, future Queensrÿche guitarist Mike Stone, and Dee Dee Bellson, daughter of drum icon Louie Bellson.
A promotional video for the song We All Bleed Red was shot at the band's first and to this date only European show at the Borderline club in London, UK while the members of Tribe Of Gypsies recorded the Balls To Picasso album with Bruce Dickinson in the fall of 1993.
