    Amazing! I have some very old vinyl records by Bolou Ferre and to see him in a recent video is a great pleasure. Boulou is an extraordinary guitar player and a true Artist. Amazing technique and wonderful feeling. I'm sure that Django is very proud of him.

    He really transcends the whole "gypsy jazz" thing. A brilliant improvisor.

    I have been fortunate to have seen Boulou and his brother Elios in the UK a few times. True masters of the guitar.
    I also have a few of their vinyls which I got in the early 90s. It wasn't easy to acquire that stuff back then.

    I had the brothers' duo album on Steeplechase years ago. Boulou and Elios were and are amazing. Boulou plays with such drive and attack.

    I bought my Favino having heard and seen Boulou and Elios.
    Not easy to source in the UK back then. It was advertised in the 'Banjo Broadsheet' which was a monthly issue of 4 or 5 typed and photocopied A4 sheets stapled together!! My friend subscribed - he was Tenor banjo player in a band we were in. I was on DB.Boulou Ferre solo performance-favino-front-2-jpgBoulou Ferre solo performance-favino-front-2-jpgSorry downloaded pic twice.
