Event Details

"One of Europe's finest Gypsy Guitarists from one of the most famous Gypsy families..." "The finest concert of acoustic guitar I have ever seen." John Shand, The Sydney Morning Herald

Gypsy guitar legend Lulo Reinhardt comes to Australia as part of a world tour for a series of concerts across the country with an international five piece band featuring violinist Daniel Weltlinger (Sydney), bassist Harald Becher (Germany), drummer Uli Kramer (Germany), and keyboardist Sean Mackenzie (Sydney).

"If ever there was proof of a musical gene, Lulo Reinhardt stands as its living embodiment. With a direct lineage from the legendary playing style of Django Reinhardt his granduncle he is the most awe-inspiring and spirited of Gypsy-Jazz/Gypsy-Swing guitarists touring the world today. A bonafide Romani Gypsy, he personifies the traditional Gypsy spirit as romanticised through popular European culture." Emma Westwood

Grand-nephew of jazz legend Django Reinhardt, nephew of the Gypsy violin master Shnuckenack Reinhardt and from a traditionally long line of musicians, Lulo represents one of the most unique voices in Gypsy-Jazz music today. A spontaneous and spirited musician, Lulos style comes from a musical voyage that has discovered Flamenco roots in Spain and Latin and Brazilian jazz from South America. Lulos Latin-Swing Project combines pure Gypsy- Swing with elements of Flamenco, Tango and Bossa Nova.

"Lulo Reinhardt ́s music reveals his enthusiasm for virtuosity and spontaneity and at the same time, a deep melancholy and nostalgia, more imagination than reality. Inspiration and feeling of the gypsies are moulded by Lulo Reinhardt into a rhythmic flowing symbiosis of elegance and spirit." Review, Europe
