Titi will play in UK at the end of september 2009 (see agenda).
Look at english press about Titi:
"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 2009 (about KALI SULTANA)
" I do think he is one of the world's great musicians and visionaries."
Charlie Gillet, BBC-London, 2009
"One of the most interesting French gypsy guitarists today"
Los Angeles Philharmonic / Hollywood Bowl
" "Gitans" was not only ranked as one of the best albums of the year by critics around the world, but it is widely considered one of the best albums of Gypsy music ever recorded."
Dan Rosenberg, The Gypsy Road
"Titi Robin is probably one of the best known French composer / musician in the crossover world music style."
Eelco Schider, Folkworld
“One of those wizard finger-pickers who can master any instrument that looks even vaguely liked a guitar, Thierry ‘Titi’ Robin has been making records since 1992 that explore ways to connect gypsy, flamenco, middle eastern and north Indian music. On his latest album, Titi’s eighteen-year-old daughter Maria sings on two tracks, and I made a special request that he feature both of them in his group’s set of three songs.
Serene and beautiful in a bright red dress, Maria sang in a high, yearning voice that was equally effective on the slow ‘Rovave, Rovave’ and the rousing ‘Amantito.’ Maria has no vocal role on the third song ‘Medhi’, which dates from an earlier period in Titi’s career, but she added hand-claps until Titi gave her the nod to get up and dance in swirling, dervish like pirouettes. When word gets out about Maria, undoubtedly a star in the making, Titi will finally get the international recognition that has been long overdue ."
