Latcho Drom

Integrale 1994-1997 - La Legende Du Swing Manouche

"Latcho Drom stands as an important landmark in the history of the music symbolized by Django Reinhardt. Gleaning from the heritage claimed by the inspired Manouche, Christophe Lartilleux has always maintained the need to modernize Gypsy swing, listening to today's music, American jazz in particular. With his Manouche mother and born in the Hart-Goujon circus family, Christophe Lartilleux conveys other forms of cultures and experience. In the early 1990s, he founded the now legendary Latcho Drom which toured Europe and the rest of the world to promote Gypsy swing when it was not yet fashionable. A veritable ambassador of Tsigania, on a par with Bireli LagrEne and Raphaël Fays, he has encountered the best musicians and taken pride of place in the French musical landscape. Editions FrEmeaux & AssociEs are proud to present a boxed set with the first three albums made by Latcho Drom from 1994 to 1997 (La Verdine, La SorciEre and Live in Madrid) which ranked Christophe Lartilleux and his accomplices among the great names of jazz and Gypsy swing." Benjamin Goldenstein & Patrick FrEmeaux
