Corsican style - I just discovered a whole separate style of music I didn't know existed. Thanks to Michael Dregni's book which mentioned this guy and I found him on YouTube.
A must subscribe YouTube channel. Happy to have discovered this:
And Antoine Bonelli. There is a particular style from Corsica that combines Spanish, Italian and French into waltzes and rumbas that most Django fans would warm to.
Last time I went to Montmartre, in 2016, I think it was Gerard Poletti playing, but I can't be sure (sorta looks like him). I asked the guy to play la Bikina and they nailed it.

Fanou kicks butt!
Nice, never heard of Fanou. Needs more videos.
Fanau is great player but i remember him as well as very nice guy with crisp and modesty.
