Bireli Lagrene 14 old

[@daveking4974]

I was playing bass with Herbolzheiner's band on this gig. Birelli had his own band with him so we just watched. It was unbelieveable to see him at 14.

[@theart8039]

I saw him in Stuttgart maybe when he was 16 or so..incredible

[@wolfgangrolock]

A quand ministre de la culture française ? Serait une première...pour la communauté que tu représentes, avec tant de talent depuis tants d'annés... Bireli tu es un exemple et tellement complet...jazz manouche, funk, jazz-rock. Un Mozart...sans jamais avoir prit le melon. Jacokiss

[@julkitan3017]

Quel génie, puis jouer le thème en SOL, impro et passer en Do ensuite pour finir sur le ton original à cet âge montre que son cerveau et ses doigts étaient bien à l'aise, guidés par une oreille bien mure déjà , et la mise en place purement parfaite ... des heures de travail derrière c'est sûr! 14 ans... Maestro!

[@viehmeyerjazz]

even at 14 he played like monster!!this guy has come so far over the years.to be honest i could have listend to him play like htis all day.but he is ALWAYS improving!Bireli is always my favorite guitar player!

[@jangunnarolsen5946]

Hearing this 14yrs Bireli Lagrene Django R would be smiling and Dancing in his grave. Just Unbelivable GREAT!

[@marmoratus]

this is an example of what can happen to you if you dont go to school

[@fraaul7712]

+marmoratus ahahaah best comment ever

[@Mahdi-El-Alaoui]

+Fra Aul Here to confirm! :D

[@mauritzfredzell3589]

+marmoratus not to mention what can happen if you dont go to the dentist

[@morymao2703]

+marmoratus haha,fuck the school,that kills the genius

[@daedrmr2dae]

No marmoratus, it's an example of what can happen to Bireli Lagrene if *he* doesn't go to school.

[@mkluppel771]

German TV early 1980s - Alfred Biolek's Show - die guten alten Zeiten :)

[@rudylagrene9397]

Le plus grand musicien de tout les temps

[@changpahk6595]

he's truly born gifted....what a fucking genius...indeed....

[@jasonburnett768]

Birelli was so damn good at guitar at age 14. A french gypsy kid, who learned to play like django reinhart with no formal education. Also he spoke pretty good german when interviewed at end of this video. Crazy!

[@vincenzo6162]

and now, he speaks real good english as well. what a jerk! just kiddin. i love his playing.

[@lowellthomasjr.468]

Superb, a real prodigy who has become a great artist !

[@lumina475]

La primera vez que escuche a bireli fue por alla en 2001 en una producción con di piazza y chamber ...me lo mostro un contrabajista roberto González.

[@j-ffilion1290]

Il est le meilleur musicien de toute l’histoire

[@Kylian____]

Meilleur musicien il a étais entraîné par mon grand-père et aucun remerciement venant de lui

[@IvanGreindl]

Il était déjà prodigieux ; quel talent inné, -- soutenu bien sûr par un énorme travail quotidien !

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

nice comment . . . . I am the same age as Bireli I started playing when I was 14. I did not have music around me the way he did. If I was Bireli I would be proud of the gypsy heritage, in this world there are good and bad people, some of them are gypsy and some not. In the gypsy world I see warmth family love and support in a way I don't see much in the non gypsy world. He's doing less than I imagine Mozart had to do to survive.

[@tyler1820]

hahaha I love how the bass player just becomes a guitar stand for like 30 seconds

[@cottontail75]

+Tyler Pretty funny.. heh Check out Jan playin bass on this one a couple years later

[@apmgtv]

All of Me. Very nice. Just wish he'd come over to the States more often.

[@Vierotchka]

The program presenter spoke in German as it was a concert in Germany. Biréli Lagrène is a French gypsy. Many European gypsies speak several languages.

[@francoisebeylie2923]

Bireli Lagrène parle aussi très bien la langue alsacienne.

[@VeraNarishkin]

@@francoisebeylie2923 Rien d'étonnant puisqu'il y a grandi!

[@SpyrosPanouts]

He is number one guitarist of all time

[@swingmanu]

language is German..Birelli is french, but, living near Germany, he can speak german. what a mastery!

[@loutelagrenee3469]

Mon cousin. More niboudo.

[@kimkelaart]

This is incredible! 14 years old man. Seriously...

[@michaelbron]

Bireli is french, and this was a german show.

[@Maliock]

Un Alsacien bien de chez nous !! :D

[@virgilus999]

Biréli Lagrène is French but the interview is in german. Luckily Biréli, who's from Alsace, a french region near Germany, speaks french, german, gypsy language and will learn english a few years later when touring with Jaco Pastorius in the States and in Europe!

[@brayanedelahye2667]

Oui le village d’où qu’il vien est soufflenheim in Alsace French

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

I know what you are saying but you have to remember that the music industry is an industry and unfortunately not one that actually employs people very well, so you make your money when and how you can. Shows like this undoubtedly enabled Bireli to earn lots of money so that he could focus on his music and his studies. Music in the world we know exists to entertain, you have to make a connection between the two activities or you don't survive. Believe me, I spent my life as poor musician.

[@beatriceguitare]

qui sont les autres musiciens ?

[@allanstark4219]

At that age I was still reading comic books.

[@baguette3000-V2]

Amazing Bireli !

[@andreacaputo6965]

Un ragazzo molto speciale !

[@TheCoolkicker]

Awesome!!! Bireli is the best!!!

[@TheLelaGh]

wow.. unbelievable..just fantastic

[@RayMond777]

hes a genius, a true inspiration ...

[@TheGitaristgitarist]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@viehmeyerjazz]

idk man even angelo debarred still uses fake caravans at his shows. adds to the ambiance. bireli even then was a great guitarist and im sure hes more than happy with where his life has taken him much due to his early childhood

[@albatrosseable]

heard him in those days, he played with a pants button, which rolled away at a pause.

[@architectrave1]

a lad with such instinct, that's amazing.

[@jeffmeynieu3291]

Extraordinaire.

[@JazzAnnon]

@schmattarags well said, didn't notice any of these before you mentionted it! I just listened to the playing and that's what music should be about (:

[@guildx700]

Love him when had this passion.

[@thierrytiti6629]

Birelli is a french guitarist

[@sebseba2458]

Anybody know name of this song?

[@sing-alongwithkevinm2462]

Sounds like "All of Me," a #1 hit for Louie Armstrong in 1931.

[@sebseba2458]

indeed! Thanks man

[@cidcampeador1952]

BRAVO ! ! ! ! !

[@stefanominelli3981]

Eccezionale.! Nazionalità?

[@haralampije2]

And some years later trio with Jaco...

[@TheFreebasslessons]

Splendid!!!! well played =)

[@francescolecce1262]

che dire, è un genio.....

[@darrinm9267]

"Not Cool " ....he didn't ask for his teeth to look that way... That's just wrong . He is a Prodigy... Most musicians study all their lives on one instrument & NEVER get to his level yet he does it on TWO instruments... He is Alright in my book

[@Ebriel0000000]

He plays piano and violin as well.

[@Star_Sn1per]

Virtuoso

[@296victor]

Gia da piccolo era un grande !!!!!!!

[@tojeon3892]

Perfect👌👍

[@22fret]

Schon damals ein echtes Tier an der Gitarre. Optisch erinnert er mich allerdings teilweise an die Loriot-Figur Vic Dorn...

[@chrisallard1819]

Increible

[@glucavechi1]

Ese virtuoso de 14 años necesita un Mecenas que lo ayude.

[@bernardkadoma1296]

...(yung) Genius...

[@l.a.d.312]

Unbelievable! He is playing "All of Me".. Thank you for sharing. BTW, what is this boy (man) doing these days?

[@gibson3638]

VIRTUOSE BIRELLI BRAVISSIMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quel talent

[@sergionsj]

Asperger? Just a question not an offense...

He was 14... Come on... He was just shy

[@mihaelritter4221]

Great

[@danradu9659]

Wow....what the hell was I doing at 14??

[@SvenJungbeck]

[@lefrelongaulois9489]

[@sachasultan8791]

Tab ?

[@merrittmussorgsky2937]

You think Bireli used tab to learn to play? Use your ears!!!!

[@wysiwyg2489]

Is Peter Sellers interviewing Bireli? LOL

[@advcycling]

Maybe he looks strange but he is really talented.

[@lordchristoph49]

smart question; great answer

[@johndoe2]

4:53 Saddest part.

[@gotham61]

Why is it sad? He asked if he listened to Django Reinhardt records.

[@michaelcraig9449]

Very good. Was this from early 60's? There was a French kid I saw on videos from 1962, who was about 13-14 years old then, I forgot his name. Is this him?

[@erichnussbaum]

Biréli is born in 1966.

[@brayanedelahye2667]

Voilà se quand n’appelle un génie

[@olmochitiva]

Es Frances

[@tarikabaraka2251]

Biréli Lagrène , guitarrista y bajista francés de jazz con raíces en la música gitana. Nacido en una comunidad de músicos gitanos, sorprendió con un talento precoz que le permitía reproducir, nota por nota, todos los temas de su admirado e inspirador Django Reinhardt. Tras esta fase de aprendizaje por emulación, Lagrène fue influido por Wes Montgomery y George Benson. Posteriormente, conoció a Jaco Pastorius y se introdujo en la música de fusión jazz rock e incluso llegó a tocar el bajo durante un tiempo antes de regresar a la guitarra.

[@vonder]

bireli is french but it s in german!

[@anjieskaya]

wow

[@aliluking81]

[@Vierotchka]

They didn't prevent him from becoming one of the best guitarists in the world, and he had them fixed a long time ago.

[@luclafor]
