This weekend, it blésois, our friends gipsies were in all their states but also in the honor.
The debate on the car park, the law Besson, the settlement, the expression of an ancestral fear...
A fight perms against the prejudices.
And the music of Django and people whom Mandino, with his brothers, defends with a lot of dignity...
They do not support that we clock some finger this 'strangeness'...
Two days where from some went out 'increased'...
The music spoke about itself...
We discovered 'the another Mandino', discreet and divine Mandino, in the presence of his brothers of blood, between speech and musical complicity for a music of wandering always more federative and than he claims as being
"The vector enters the people gipsy and gadjé".
A source of exchange and knowledge of these people...
PLEASURE TO PLAY TOGETHER, SHARES of FEELINGS, FERVOUR, GENEROSITY,
words which justify the perfection of a service greeted by a Triumph...
October 18th, 2003...
It is the end of a big weekend 'swing' with a strong presence of Mandino and Francko for the colloquium on the travelling entertainers of Friday, 17 (beautiful interventions of Mandino), but also of Sony, Costel and Gautier during the Saturday evening concert 18 to the Chesnaie of Chailles...
Two days of very big quality on the subject
"Where from do you come gypsy ? Where do you go ?" A big division in the spirit and the tradition Gipsy, led in a masterly fashion by discreet Mandino, where nothing is left at random...
We heard of all the colours between statements and musical sequences of the duet Mandino Reinhardt - Francko Merhstein, come specially the day before to bring their support and their knowledge, strong appreciated by the public...
A Round Table with David Baumgarten's moving interventions, regional President of the Gypsies of France, and Mandino Reinhardt, the poet of the swing gipsy, in the presence of pragmatics Azim Gasseymar, managing of the ground of the Travelling entertainers of Orlêans (a quality example which proves that it is possible to manage) and of Anita Richard, every lovers defenders of the cause 'gipsy'); it was even poignant by moment...
A reminder in the attentiveness of some and the others, made by sometimes acerbic radical comments and sharp edges...
And then this famous concert of fence, on Saturdays, scouring agent and without alternative, 'attacked' in the deep from the entrance on the scene, with this ardour that the musicians gipsies have, and which twists the guitar with a swing of 'madness'
(photos)A true happiness !
A public of connoisseurs (largely; the one who was able to appreciate "AJT Guitar Trio" and "Biréli Lagrène and his Gipsy Project", in the festvival of Montlouis, one month ago). We would have imagined in family... Some 'Cousins' were present, with woman and Children for this beautiful evening reinhardtienne !
It is a success
Total that this new quintet formed by Mandino... They knew how to seduce the public
Seen the salvos of applause and the force of succéssifs reminders.
As for the revelation of the young violinist Costel Nitescu, discovered by Mandino Reinhardt during a festival in Norway...
It is e_nor_mous !!!
Costel is Rumanian quite as Guilder Niculescu; he arises from the same school that gets that is obvious also !
Violinist overflowing with joy of living and with humor Brillantissime, which left us all on the 'swing'.
I believe that we are going to speak about him in the months and a lot coming years...
A very strong and impressive complicity with Mandino to his left and Sony in his right-hand side.
Sony, masterful, with comments drôlissimes as he knows how to make them with collusive looks in the direction of the brother present the quintet and the played subjects...
Although feverish and in spite of a 'girl-shape' and a rhub big person ' pitched in Guyana some days before, he knew how to interpret us, in alternation, three magnificent songs (as what cold and rum do not make 'good household').
Francko Merhstein, the son, with a serene, well-kept and discreet 'pump'; it is necessary to admit that he is at good school between 'Dad Sony' and 'Uncle Mandino', as well as Dino Mehrstein his brother.
And Gautier in full shape, with his brother 'Guillaume' in the sax, come their to lend strong hand towards the end of Concert... 
Re-mar-ka-ble!
Almost wild inspirations and retorts...
By moment we would have imagined in the "Vault of Huchette"...
Sharpness and elegance were for the meeting in the concert hall of the Club of Chesnaie...
It is necessary to say that they were in shape the boys with the air of the Dormouse and Expensively and they knew how to show him to us.
It was enough to listen to the comments of Inhabitants of the region
in the break 'cigarette / beer' of the end of first set...
For many, this quintet new was a shock!!!
A concert which delighted a regional public warned and fascinated for some (more than 300 persons according to well informed sources).
We already ask for more of it !!!
Deeply "Chouka Rati" dates 2004 (Mandino would take charge of the organization according to well informed sources) and why not Samois edition 2004, among others concerts!!!
According to other well informed sources, one GIVEN UP must be registered in the neighborhood of December 14th in Switzerland...
Editor's note :
Dino and Franko Mehrstein took out a CD
"Point of departure"...
... And it is more that a 'Point', it is even a very good departure!...
Good swing in All !
