"Django" (the book that came about a few years ago about his life and music and how it arose from Gypsy and French bal musette cultures and later influenced and fused with much jazz.)

Hot Club of San Francisco - all their stuff, which is highly Gypsy Jazz, but they have at least 2 dedicated directly to Django.

The magic of Stephan Grapelli - no matter what he played or with whom! Jeez, he has no peer even now. If people think Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil for the ability to play blues his way, who knows what otherworldly favors Grapelli called upon.

Flamenco - not fully "Spanish" as much an amalgam of Iberian, Gypsy, and Jewish musical influences, with emphasis on the Gypsy.

I say the Roma have given us more than one can cover in a lifetime!
