Sandro Lorrier (France)

He is a Jazz and Flamenco Rumba guitarist and singer, playing on an Alhambra guitar model 7 Fc CT Born on February 21, 1994 in Saverne in Alsace, Sandro Lorier comes from a family of gypsy musicians. He is the son of Paquito Lorier, composer of the jazz piece "Paquito" and with whom he began studying the guitar. From a young age he has been interested in different types of music such as Manouche Jazz by Django Reinhardt, Rumba Flamenca by Paco de Lucia or Bossa Nova, among others, being impressed when he saw George Benson live in Cannes. Styles that have marked his identity as a musician. He began his career at just 15 years old In 2009, Sandro Lorier had already reached a good level and had the opportunity to meet and play with the famous flamenco guitarist Manitas de Plata in Saintes Maries of the Sea, who gave him valuable advice. In 2013, Sandro was invited to participate in a young talent competition in Paris, where he won first prize. The audience was impressed by his right-hand technique (fingerstyle), because he is one of the few, if not the only gypsy guitarist, to play the great jazz pieces with the flamenco technique, with the Picado and without a pick. In 2014, he opened a Gypsy Jazz Festival in Saint-Tropez. On October 15, 2015, he gave three concerts at the Manufacture Theatre in Nancy to promote his first album entitled "Gypsy Favela" In February 2016, he accompanied singer SHAKE at Grand REX in Paris. On October 7, 2016, he played at L'Olympia in Paris alongside his father for a special evening of Jazz Manouche. In July 2017, Sandro set foot on American soil for the first time, giving a series of concerts in New York. On August 15, 2017, she gave three concerts at the "Grls du Jazz" Festival at La Petite Pierre in Grand Est to close the promotion of her first album "Gypsy Favela". At the beginning of 2018, she released her second album entitled "Fuerteventura" and the same year the third called "Destination" with 12 titles including 11 compositions. In 2018 she went on a concert tour in jazz clubs in Chicago with her father Paquito. A tour that took her to venues such as the "Space" in Evanston or the famous "Green Mill", where Al Capone stayed. A tour where they also appeared on American television in St. Louis.
