.. Gipsy Guitarist ! Biography Of Gypsy origin, Latcho Drom’s leader, Christophe Lartilleux, was brought up in a travelling circus (Hart-Goujon), run by gypsy performers. He was taught the guitar by his father, Yvon, himself a guitarist (who played many years with the accordionist Maurice Vittenet/ Jo Privat..). He received many musical influences, from jazz fusion to bop, including flamenco and hard rock and Classic. He has played with some musicians as different as Yoshko Seffer, Alain Caron, Florin Niculescu, Bireli Lagrene, Laurent Korcia, Christian Escoudé... But his first love has always been the gypsy guitar and Latcho Drom (meaning “have a good journey” in gypsy language) is the fulfillment of his dream to create the Hot Club de France sounds of Grappelli and Reinhardt’s famous quintet. With his acoustic band, he revives the sound and the swing of those times, (especially by using the famous Selmer guitars), while developing his own personality and originality. Immediately the group was extremely successful, and has never stopped performing all over the world.

Christophe Lartilleux, the founder and leader of the group Latcho Drom has returned to his Gypsy roots, while stillretaining the originality which made his name. Under the watchful eye of his gypsy grandmother (photo on jacket),Christophe Lartilleux has widened his Djagno Reinhardt repertory to include amazing hits of the seventies: MichelPolnareff, Serge Gainsbourg, Moon Martin, Abba, etc. Still loyal to his origins but venturing to new horizons,Christophe Lartilleux proves that the Gypsy heritage is not only a repertoire, but is a true work of art, a fine exampleof reappropriation.

Patrick Frémeaux & Benjamin Goldenstein.

Christophe Lartilleux, fondateur et animateur du groupe Latcho Drom s’est recentré sur sa famille pour retourner aux sources de ses origines manouches – sans pour autant négliger l’originalité et la diversité des influences qui a fait sa réputation sur la scène Gypsy actuelle.

Sous le regard exigeant de sa grand-mère manouche (en photo sur la couverture du disque), Christophe Lartilleux élargit le répertoire consacré par Django Reinhardt et intronise de son swing d’étonnants tubes des années 1970 : Michel Polnareff, Serge Gainsbourg, Moon Martin, Abba… Entre fidélité aux racines et désir de conquérir des horizons nouveaux, Christophe Lartilleux rappelle ici que le patrimoine gitan n’est pas seulement un répertoire mais aussi une véritable facture, un rappel d’identité, un génie de la réappropriation.
