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.

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…

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.
