Fanou Torracinta Quartet at Jazz Club Étoile

Gipsy Guitar from Corsica !As part of the evenings sponsored by Thomas Dutronc The guitar has always been part of the heritage of the island of beauty, the mazurka and the waltz being the hallmarks of Corsican guitarists. It is not surprising that this young guitarist from Bastia - Fanou Torracinta is only twenty-eight years old - has taken over this story.Surrounded by the young pianist Bastien Brison and a high-end rhythm section with Benji Winterstein on guitar and William brunard on double bass, Fanou Torracinta invites us on a journey to the island of beauty with scents, colors and lights so personal and so haunting.The original and very creative compositions of this young Corsican guitarist come to blend some jazz standards that we like to hear and hear again…"I've known Fanou for a little while now. He looks adorable like that but don't trust it. First he is young, very young and then he plays guitar really well (...) I am proud that Corsica has produced such a good, talented musician-guitarist." Thomas Dutronc "The music played by the young Fanou Torracinta gives off severely, because the young man does not save himself and sends his notes with a rare velocity. Attention, virtuoso".

Gipsy Guitar from Corsica !Dans le cadre des soirées parrainées par Thomas DutroncLa guitare a toujours fait partie du patrimoine de l'île de beauté, la mazurka et la valse étant les marques de fabrique des guitaristes corses. Il n'est pas étonnant que ce tout jeune guitariste bastiais - Fanou Torracinta n'a que vingt-huit ans - se soit emparé de cette histoire. Entouré du jeune pianiste Bastien Brison et d'une section rythmique haut de gamme avec Benji Winterstein à la guitare et William brunard à la contrebasse, Fanou Torracinta nous invite au voyage, un voyage sur l'île de beauté aux senteurs, couleurs et lumières si personnelles et si envoûtantes.Aux compositions originales et très créatives de ce jeune guitariste corse viennent se fondre quelques standards de jazz que l'on aime entendre et réentendre…« Je connais Fanou depuis un petit bout de temps maintenant. Il a l'air adorable comme ça mais ne vous y fiez pas. D'abord il est jeune, très jeune même et puis il joue vraiment bien de la guitare (...) Je suis fier que la Corse ait enfanté un aussi bon, un aussi talentueux musicien-guitariste. » Thomas Dutronc "La musique jouée par le jeune Fanou Torracinta dégage sévèrement, car le jeune homme ne s'économise pas et envoie ses notes avec une rare vélocité. Attention, virtuose ». GUITARE SÈCHE le mag
