Christophe Lartilleux Toujours origine manouche

Christophe Lartilleux, the founder and leader of the group Latcho Drom has returned to his Gypsy roots, while still retaining 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:  Michel Polnareff, 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 example of reappropriation.
