Fapy Lafertin – and Shirley Smart Trio

One of the world’s top gypsy guitarists.

Possibly the most celebrated Gypsy guitarist, Fapy Lafertin is widely recognised as the heir to Django Reinhardt’s crown. Lafertin was responsible for the 1970/80’s resurgence of the Django Reinhardt style with his first band Waso. His fifty years of performing has distinguished him as a truly great artist: harnessing an unmatched melodic sense, clarity of articulation and technique.
