Caffe Lena

Rooted in Django Reinhardt’s tradition, Stéphane Wrembel’s guitar soars with lyricism, swing, and invention.

“Perhaps the most creative improviser in Gypsy jazz today, Mr. Wrembel plays the guitar with a rich and colorful lyricism.”— The New York TimesHailed by Rolling Stone as “a revelation” and described by The New York Observer as “the living face of Gypsy jazz,” Stéphane Wrembel stands among the world’s most celebrated guitarists and composers. Born in Fontainebleau, France, Wrembel has spent more than two decades enchanting audiences across the globe with a singular sound that blends jazz, gypsy swing, and world music into something unmistakably his own.In addition to his extraordinary live performances, Wrembel is a highly sought-after composer. His music has been featured prominently in acclaimed films including Midnight in Paris (“Bistro Fada”), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (“Big Brother”), and Rifkin’s Festival (original score). Midnight in Paris went on to win the GRAMMY® Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack, and in 2012 Wrembel was personally selected by Hans Zimmer to perform at the Academy Awards® alongside an all-star ensemble including Esperanza Spalding, Pharrell, and Sheila E.With 19 albums released under his own name and the acclaimed Django Experiment series, Wrembel continues to push creative boundaries. His most recent release, a three-CD Triptych (Phases I, II &amp; III) recorded with renowned improvisational pianist Jean-Michel Pilc, was released in April 2024 and received glowing reviews from DownBeat, Guitar Player Magazine, Acoustic Guitar Magazine, New York City Jazz Record, and more. His collaborations with artists such as David Grisman and GRAMMY®-winning guitarist Raul Midón further underscore his remarkable versatility.Wrembel is also a passionate educator and cultural ambassador. Since 2003, he has served as the artistic director of Django à Gogo, a weeklong festival and guitar camp celebrating the Sinti guitar tradition, hosted at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, and featuring master classes with world-class musicians.Over the years, Wrembel has shared the stage with an astonishing range of artists—from Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, and The Roots to Medeski Martin &amp; Wood, John Scofield, Sam Bush, and Stochelo Rosenberg—and has appeared on NPR’s Mountain Stage and Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour. His performances transcend labels and expectations, offering something deeply resonant for every listener. <a href="https://youtu.be/GRTYyIgCxqs?si=-d1s-O_lKoDXfdBQ" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SAMPLE SONG</a>As Wrembel says:“I just play my own music.
