A unique opportunity to see traditional Gypsy Jazz played by a genuine Gypsy family trio, direct from Alsace

LA FAMILLE LOEFFLER

Mito Loëffler and his sons, Fléco Lafertin and Zaiti Lafertin

Mito Loëffler and his sons Fléco and Zaiti are Gypsies of the Manouche tribe.  They live with their family in a caravan in Alsace, part of a close-knit Gypsy community headed by Mito’s mother, the family matriarch.  They speak only Manouche with enough French to get by, so communication normally results in hysterics on both sides.

Gypsies begin to play as soon as they can hold a guitar, so a family trio always has very special chemistry.  Mito, Fléco and Zaiti are however exceptional – they are three of the gentlest, shyest and most traditional Gypsies one could ever hope to meet. 

They are not cosmopolitan, international professionals; they are genuine Manouche Gypsies and this is therefore a unique opportunity to see them play. Their playing is not just a job to them – it is their life, it is what they do and as important to them as eating. Their playing is charming, honest, bewitching, utterly entrancing and, when they visit the UK, they are guaranteed to have any audience spellbound.

Open at 6pm. Food available until 10pm, tables allocated on arrival, Tickets www.quecumbar.co.uk www.wegottickets.com £15 door
