Thierry Robin - Katchur Khan

"One of the most interesting French gypsy guitarists today"
Los Angeles Philharmonic / Hollywood Bowl

Thierry Robin, known as "Titi", the self-taught musician born at the end of the fifties in western France, has created a musical world for himself instinctively assimilating elements in response to his need to express himself. The two worlds in which he has navigated daily and that have both directly and deeply influenced him are the gipsy and oriental cultures.

Before the World Music trend was born, these communities were open and encouraging to him while French mainstream music struggled with his approach. Arab and gipsy community celebrations provided him with the opportunity to test his original musical sound against these rich traditions from which he took his inspiration while never imitating them, obstinately looking for the best way in which to express himself as a contemporary artist. The musicians accompanying him were almost all from these minority groups. The two artists of major importance to him were the flamenco cantaor Camaron de la Isla and the Iraqi master oud player Munir Bachir.

Wonderful music, it would be lovely to know the words accompanying this music; does someone has the lyrics, and the translation to English/French?

I guess I'm too spoiled by the Bohemian Gypsies, whose music is so varied, rich, enthusiastic, and in spite of being perfectly in tune, it has life in it. Here you can hear Gypsy kids singing three-voiced songs in the street, on their way to the train station (neither begging nor performing!!) and make you shiver with delight.
