Electronic, Fairy Tales .

in 12 Bands.
SOME HISTORY :
Energic source of original musical scene
from Lille, 'la Compagnie du Tire-Laine' is a collective of about thirty
musiciens distributed into more or less ten bands. They all mix traditional
musics (Gyspy, Klezmer, Musette, Gnawa, Arabo-Andalousian ) and new sonorities,
performing on National and International stages: the Olympia, the Cabaret
Sauvage in Paris, the Sziget Festival in Budapest, the Respect Festival
in Pragues...
Leaded by Arnaud Van Lancker ("Nono"), acordionist and emblematic
figure, the tribe leads musical actions as much as social actions, defending
the Gypsies condition. Tire-Laine also collaborates to various european
creations with Veenfabriek in the Netherlands, Antigone's theater in Courtray,
Belgium. We also work in France with the Prato (circus) or the National
Center of the Art of Circus, training students to become performers.
THE EVENT-MAKERS
When Tire-Laine gets in the place, they
dedicate the night to the musics they like to play and share it with public,
keeping up the party into a festive and warm spirit !
Many unexpected surprises will wait for you during this travel into our
universe from stage to stage.
From tales to Gnawa music to Gypsy brass bands, shades of electro and
40's like ballroom will throw the public into a huge musical whirlpool
... You'll forget what time it is !

CHEZ NONO
A Gypsy accoustic quartet, they make
you re-discover the traditional Gypsy, Klezmer and Arabo-Andalousian
repertoire.
The show is based on humour and proximity, a very funny technique-less
formula for small meetings, cocktails, varnashings, all kind of small
event ... with possibility to play outside, adding some technical elements
or even some musicians

TARAF DEKALE
The Dekale is first of all a wonderful dancing machine gathering at
least twelve musiciens from the Tire-Laine leaded by Arnaud Van Lancker
("Nono"). But the Dekale is also the resolutely energic and
festive tones of the Klezmer, Gypsy, and oriental repertoires, coloured
by creations. And the Dekale is finally a certain heat, the unequalled
happiness of playing music.
SWING GADJE
Traveller of the modern ages, the epopee of Arnaud Van Lancker, known
as 'Nono', and his band of 'gadges'continue the travel...
F ive years of wanders since the first Swing Gadje album titled "Kriss
Romani".
"Partir",
the new album is a fest to the Klezmer sonorities, Gypsy music, an Oriental
coloured fusion of traditional and popular musics, musical atmospheres
borrowed from the Oriental arabesques, sometimes intimist, sometimes luxuriant.
Swing Gadje live is a real moment of joy, generosity, sensitivity and
vital energy.
NEW DÉKALÉ
The New Dékalé
gathers eight musicians from the Compagnie of Tire-Laine. With wind instruments,
accordion, guitar, and percussion instruments : this blithe mixing gives
a repertoire mixing Klezmer music and Yiddish songs, with the amazing
appearances of Amélie, our charming singer.
Let you take away in
this trip…
CHEM'S Creation 2006
On the way for the Orient with
this new creation of the Compagnie of Tire-Laine, into the heart of
Arabian music and its multiple facets. Musicians take possession of
modern Maroccain music repertoires, with Jewish and Gypsy, Arabo-Andalousian
and Algerian Chaabi influences.
With CHEM'S, this is all the festive soul from the Mediterranean Basin
that is honored.

LA CARAVANE ELECTRO
They are the unconventional union between electro and Gypsy music, the
accomplished fusion of traditional music, electronic beats, Indian dance
and projected images.
The live version of the Caravan is performed by four musiciens coming
originally from the Rock scene, Hip Hop, World music,and a duo of programmers,
an Indian sitar, a tablas performer from Pakistan and a toaster with an
incredible flow.
The touch of a plastician brings an additional visual dimension to the
concert, and the performing of Manjushree, formed to the Indian dances
of Bharata Natyam, brings an incredible sensual touch.
LA PANIKA
A Gypsy-horns brass band resolutly inspired of the Gypsy Tarafs from Eastern
Europe. This band of eight musiciens is composed of a horn section (saxophone,
trumpet, horn, tubas, helicon), a percussionist, a banjo and an accordion.
Festive and popular, this band was created both for brass band ambulation
and a live scene.
LE GLOBAL / THE GLOBAL
Take a ride with the Global into an intercontinental musical travel. From
Bolero to Chacha, from Biguine to Samba, from Klezmer to crazy Gypsy,
passing by French traditional chansons, all you need is to keep moving
all night !
LES ENFANTS DU BAL / THE BALLROOM CHILDREN
Wanna move your booty, sing and
party whatever your age ? 'La Compagnie' re-invent the ball !
Fred Tétaert is the leader this time. Known as a great Gypsy-style
guitar performer, he also gives voice to this Alternative-Gypsy ball.
His rythms are emphasized by touches of Latino, Ska, Tango, Swing and
Musette
LE BALCON / THE BALCONY
An out of adjustment Orchestra that composes a colored mixing of Gnawa
musics, Latino musics, Musette, Gipsy musiques or French Chanson. A popular
song that has never been so appreciated than when it provides Oriental
chords heat. More than just a Ball, the BALCONY is a story that we tell
to each other all togather. For all the lovers of warm atmosphere and
discovery, with family or friends.
Album coming up in 2006.
