Gipsy Project

Biréli Lagrène

Acoustic strings moving at impossible speeds. A masterclass in Manouche swing that feels both like a 1930s Parisian club and a modern firework display.

It's like Django Reinhardt drank ten espressos and decided to show off.

A high-velocity celebration of acoustic tradition that feels both virtuosic and deeply communal.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The dizzying unison melody between the violin and guitar on Daphné that feels like a single instrument.
Lagrène's unexpected, velvet-toned vocal turn on La Mer that shifts the album's energy from frantic to cinematic.
The absolute velocity of the solo on Lime House Blues where the notes seem to blur into a single percussive force.
