The French harmonicist Yvonnick Préné, installed in New York since 2007, celebrates the release of his new album a harmonica for Django, a personal tribute to Django Reinhardt. Recorded in Paris, this album revisits the great classics of gypsy jazz with original arrangements for chromatic harmonica, an instrument rarely associated with this style.

For this exceptional concert, he will be surrounded by three big names in the French gypsy scene: Adrien Moignard on solo guitar, recognized for his virtuosity and unique style, Mathieu Chatelain on rhythm guitar, pillar of acoustic swing, and Diego Imbert with double bass, refined musician and regular collaborator of Biréli Lagrène.

The program will include emblematic songs from Django Reinhardt as well as some surprises, in a spirit that is both faithful to tradition and resolutely modern. The interaction between musicians promises a moment of complicity, swing and emotion.

Yvonnick taken has established itself as one of the most innovative harmonicists of its generation. He has collaborated with many international artists and occurred in prestigious clubs and festivals around the world. He is also the founder of the New York Harmonica School and Ambassador artist for the Hohner brand.
