Info for Loco Cello - Tangorom

A promise to travel from Argentina to Eastern Europe, through gypsy jazz and classical music. The compass has lost the north since Loco Cello decided to redraw the map of the world on his scores, as proven by this second album passe-murailles.

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Django Reinhardt's death, there will be no shortage of tributes to the Gypsy master. Among the many 'Nuages' to come, Loco Cello's new album, 'Tangorom', offers a saving grace by celebrating, with audacity and originality, another facet of Django: his lyrical playing through his passion for classical music. - Recorded at the Abbey of Noirlac, Tangorom sails from Astor Piazzolla to Django, passing through chamber music and Eastern European music. A crazy odyssey. - Flashback. In 2019, Loco Cello's first eponymous album built a bridge between gypsy jazz, chamber music and the distant horizons of the world. The idea of this trio composed of composer-guitarist Samuel Strouk, cellist François Salque and double bassist Jérémie Arranger? To dust off the classical formula of the string trio by going off the beaten track. "We develop a chamber music approach to improvised music, with the emphasis on a plural cello, capable of blending into various worlds," summarize François and Samuel, the drivers of the Locomotive. - Conceived as a triptych - Astor Piazzolla's tango nuevo, Django Reinhardt's gypsy jazz, and classical music, with stops in the popular music of Central and Eastern Europe, to the rhythm of the Csardas transcribed by Czech conductor Kryštof Mařatka - Tangorom explodes the frameworks to paint an impressionistic fresco.

Loco Cello
With more than forty albums acclaimed by the press, he has received the highest awards (Victoires de la musique, BBC Palme d'Or, Diapasons d'Or de l'année, Chocs du Monde de la musique, more than 10 international first prizes...), François Salque is now a reference. His charisma, his sensitivity and his breathtaking virtuosity have led him to play with the greatest, in more than 70 countries. As for Samuel Strouk, rising star of jazz, guitarist, composer and conductor, his versatility allows him to approach multiple musical languages with ease and has led him to collaborate with the greatest European orchestras.

Fascinated by the freedom and the sound flavours that this new formation allows them, always supported by a precise and warm double bass, these two creators constantly push back the limits of the imposed courses, invent a way that resembles them and transform each of their meetings into a unique and jubilant moment!

Sometimes elegant and lyrical, sometimes virtuoso and incandescent, their music celebrates the union of different musical traditions, from tango to jazz, from classical repertoire to world music, from traditional themes to contemporary music, punctuated by astonishing sound cascades and other evocative folkloric explosions that they reinvent together with an incredible intuition of crossbreeding
