About
Corsican guitarist Fanou Torracinta has gradually established himself in gypsy jazz thanks to his talent, sensitivity, and strong artistic personality. After his debut with the Corsican Trio, his collaborations with Tchavolo Schmitt, and two albums, he presents his third opus, La Belle vie.
The album relies on the complicity of his loyal quartet and blends eight personal compositions with five covers, notably by Sacha Distel and Django Reinhardt. Influenced by Django without seeking to imitate him, Torracinta favors lyricism, softness, and emotion, while integrating the influence of his Corsican roots. Some tracks are accompanied by a string quartet, bringing a delicate chamber music touch.
La Belle vie thus affirms a personal, elegant, and sensitive style, at the crossroads of gypsy jazz, swing, and Corsican musical traditions.
Line-up: Fanou Torracinta: guitar; François Lenne: guitar; William Brunard: double bass
