Bireli Lagrene 14 old

[@marmoratus]

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

[@fraaul7712]

+marmoratus ahahaah best comment ever

[@mehdielalaoui8478]

+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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@changpahk6595]

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

[@jangunnarolsen5946]

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

[@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!

[@IvanGreindl]

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

[@lowellthomasjr.468]

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

[@danradu9659]

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

[@uziv0]

he is not german, neither french :)) he is gipsy :P

[@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.

[@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

[@apmgtv]

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

[@fransvanderbruggen5019]

Gitaarsoliste VROM america

[@lilarenasguibe]

Never! Biréli Lagrène is French, born in Alsace, border with Germany ;) ( En effet , à Soufflenheim dans le Bas-Rhin)

[@Maliock]

Un Alsacien bien de chez nous !! :D

[@beatriceguitare]

qui sont les autres musiciens ?

[@harrykuheim6107]

Poor kid Genius.....nobody deserves teeth that bad....

[@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]

He's a genius, stupid ! Who cares , People are so mean

[@swingmanu]

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

[@Star_Sn1per]

Virtuoso

[@haralampije2]

And some years later trio with Jaco...

[@mkluppel771]

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

[@loutelagrenee3469]

Mon cousin. More niboudo.

[@michaelbron]

Bireli is french, and this was a german show.

[@tpgks97]

말도안돼

[@jonathanfurtado7611]

is that guiseppe on the rhythm?

[@kemalalsac2873]

+Jonathan Furtado also dijango:)

[@DizzyKrissi]

Maybe a genius far beyond bellieve but I never liked his cocky and selfish attitude onstage. And I prefer musicians smiling and interacting with the other musicians.

[@mitchie2267]

Lol shut up

[@glucavechi1]

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

[@22fret]

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

[@SpyrosPanouts]

He is number one guitarist of all time

[@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!

[@allanstark4219]

At that age I was still reading comic books.

[@andreacaputo6965]

Un ragazzo molto speciale !

[@anjieskaya]

wow

[@cidcampeador1952]

BRAVO ! ! ! ! !

[@webjoyz]

if you noticed, he doesn't use his little finger, it just follow the finger beside... do you belive in reincarnation?

[@RootinrPootine]

I think he does tho

[@stefanominelli3981]

Eccezionale.! Nazionalità?

[@lefrelongaulois9489]

il jouait deja beaucoup de notes !

[@olmochitiva]

Es Frances

[@guildx700]

Love him when had this passion.

[@kurinakornel1]

Birelli is gipsy from Frensch:)!

[@jeffmeynieu3291]

Extraordinaire.

[@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.

[@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

[@lilarenasguibe]

Soufflenheim - Bas-Rhin (France)

[@TheGitaristgitarist]

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

[@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.

[@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 (:

[@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.

[@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?

[@TheFreebasslessons]

Splendid!!!! well played =)

[@cburgess2805]

All Of Me sounds way better in G for guitar than in C.

[@kimkelaart]

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

[@thierrytiti6629]

Birelli is a french guitarist

[@melchiorre6342]

Prodigio

[@raimagene]

Man i read the MONSTER MANGA its setting is based on GERMANY but the monster is not johnan liebert rather it is BIRELE !!

[@hienbossa1065]

❤❤❤

[@patrickfahrner3476]

Salut

[@albatrosseable]

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

[@baguette3000-V2]

Amazing Bireli !

[@marvinraydalida7118]

im just here playing the g chord

[@wysiwyg2489]

Is Peter Sellers interviewing Bireli? LOL

[@tonyflorez703]

No way man I didnt know he played like this at 14 !

[@frederikmh]

Guy talking in the beginning is speaking german

[@advcycling]

Maybe he looks strange but he is really talented.

[@oussama3896]

Gipsy french music , but the tv show is dutch

[@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.

[@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

[@Rafgeekk]

Biréli is french but here it's german, sorry

wow.. unbelievable..just fantastic

[@TheAkelei]

Es spricht für den Gastgeber, wenn er sich die Mühe macht, den Namen seines Gastes richtig auszusprechen. Alles Andere ist mehr als peinlich, Herr Biolek. Und Ihre Art, mit Jugendlichen in der Sendung umzugehen, lässt einen sich schon ziemlich innerlich krümmen.Nun ja. Water under the Bridge. Lagréne war und ist genial.

[@supersamschwartz]

Put thick glasses on him and he is 14 year old austin powers

This is Gypsy Swing my friends
