TITI ROBIN

Bio:

NEW CD AVAILABLE "KALI SULTANA"

"I used to dream of a world in which composers, performers and producers could make music without being constrained by the bottlenecks of genre and market forces. French guitarist Titi Robin has made an album as if tht fantasy were true ... the result is rich and moving, a tale with the depth of a novel and the narrative drive of a folk legend."
John L. Walters THE GUARDIAN

" I do think he is one of the world's great musicians and visionaries."
Charlie Gillet, BBC-London

FEBRUARY 2010

TITI ROBIN plays mediterranean music of his own.... Gypsy, Mediterranean and Balkan cultures are always clearly present in Titi Robin's music. Both on his records and on stage, Gypsies and Payos, the French and Spanish, Indians, Iranians and Arabs have agreed to dialogue and it is this reconstructed tribe, a genuine arborescence of musicians met over time, that we find around Titi Robin. He plays essentially his own compositions with an important part of improvisation. Titi meet with a large audience of both erudite music-lovers and amateurs of Mediterranean music and tour from Japan to the Hollywood Ball (USA), from South Africa to Europes major World Music festivals....

Thierry Titi Robin is a fringe artist. He is placed within a World Music movement that he does not acknowledge, as it seems to him to be motivated by a profound ethnocentricity, creating a barrier between Western ethnic music (rock, jazz) and others! For him, the crossing of music is not a value in itself, but quite simply a reality, his reality. The main thing is to find the right path between the feeling giving rise to the creation and the artistic form used to express it, whether it take a purely traditional form or one that explodes all established codes. Forging his own path, he has taken heed of the encouragement given by eminent artists such as flamenco singers Fosforito and Chano Lobato, as well as the virtuoso oud player Munir Bachir, who have seen in this atypical approach sincerity and authenticity that go well beyond any differences....

This music for listening and dancing....
