Part three: Biréli Lagrène & Sylvain Luc Duo
As Django Reinhardt’s son Babik will tell you, Biréli Lagrène is certainly a worthy representative of Django.

Like Django, he can’t read music, but he can play anything by ear.
The freedom and space of the duo formula give Biréli Lagrène and Sylvain Luc all the room they need to transcend guitar music.
