Every Tuesday from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., Chez Georges welcomes the Alex Swing Events collective, which offers a varied and quality program, following a repertoire of swing / gypsy jazz, the music of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, and many others!Chez Georges is a very pleasant wine bar on rue des canettes, with a magnificent vaulted cellar in the basement, transformed on Tuesday into a gypsy jazz club!Raphaël Faÿs was born with a guitar in his arms, to a jazz guitarist father who had a dazzling and promising start to his career. He revisits the repertoire of his master Django Reinhardt and is recognized as the gifted heir of the tradition.The musical universe of Raphaël Faÿs crosses Europe. His playing is made up of a colossal amount of guitar experiences. The relevance of this approach is above all the passion that Raphaël devotes to the acoustic guitar, whether jazz from Django, classical or Flamenco.He became passionate about flamenco from 1987 when he met Paco de Lucia in Paris. At that time, he was already recognized as a virtuoso of classical guitar as well as jazz guitar. Although his technical ease favors a rapid learning of the flamenco technique which he performs with the “poua” called plectrum, it seems that, probably out of modesty, he waited many years before daring to center his work on this style. . He has already composed numerous flamenco-inspired works: bulerias, alegrias, Fandango…. a perfect success that he expresses brilliantly in his extraordinary and original interpretation.In fact, it offers a new perspective on this music and in a certain way broadens its contours.Raphaël Fays does more than synthesize two styles of gypsy and flamenco, he reflects what, beyond the borders of Spain and Eastern Europe, is common to these two gypsy communities that are the European gypsy and the Spanish-Andalusians. History has pushed them apart but their history is common.There are few musicians who, like Raphaël Faÿs, have been able to explore musical fields as varied as they are demanding with the same conviction, the same probity and the same happiness. More than the performance, it is the humanity and generosity of the approach that should be saluted today.Raphaël Faÿs' flamenco is quite simply his music, which he wants to share with the public.

Tous les mardis de 20h à 23h, Chez Georges accueille le collectif Alex Swing Events qui propose une programmation variée et de qualité, suivant un répertoire de swing / jazz manouche, la musique de Django Reinhardt et Stéphane Grappelli, et de bien d'autres...Chez Georges, c'est un bar à vin très sympathique de la rue des canettes, avec au sous-sol une magnifique cave voûtée, transformée le mardi en cave... de jazz manouche !Raphaël Faÿs est né la guitare entre les bras, d'un père guitariste de Jazz qui a connu un début de carrière fulgurant et prometteur. Il revisite le répertoire de son maître Django Reinhardt et est reconnu comme l'héritier surdoué de la tradition.L'univers musical de Raphaël Faÿs traverse l'Europe. Son jeu est constitué d'une somme colossale d'expériences guitaristiques. La pertinence de cette démarche est avant tout la passion que Raphaël voue à la guitare acoustique qu'elle soit jazz à partir de Django, classique ou Flamenco.Il se passionne pour le flamenco à partir de 1987 lorsqu'il fait la connaissance de Paco de Lucia à Paris. A cette époque, il est déjà reconnu comme un virtuose de la guitare classique autant que de la guitare de jazz. Bien que son aisance technique favorise un apprentissage rapide de la technique flamenco qu'il interprète à la « poua » appelé plectre, il semble que, par modestie sans doute, il aura attendu de longues années avant d'oser centrer son travail sur ce style. Il a déjà composé de nombreuses oeuvres d'inspiration flamenca : bulérias, alégrias, Fandango …. une réussite parfaite qu'il exprime avec brio dans son interprétation extraordinaire et originale .De fait, il propose un nouvel éclairage de cette musique et d'une certaine façon en élargit les contours.Raphaël Fays fait plus que synthétiser deux styles gitans et flamenco, il rend compte de ce qui, au-delà des frontières de l'Espagne et de l'Europe de l'Est est commun à ces deux communautés gitanes que sont les manouches européens et les hispano-andalous. L'Histoire les a éloignés mais leur histoire est commune.Rares sont les musiciens qui à la manière de Raphaël Faÿs auront su investir des champs musicaux aussi variés qu'exigeants avec la même conviction, la même probité et le même bonheur. Plus que la performance, c'est l'humanité et la générosité de la démarche qu'il convient de saluer aujourd'hui.Le flamenco de Raphaël Faÿs est tout simplement, sa musique, qu'il veut partager avec le public. Il poursuit son chemin et s'affirme par son propre style !
