In the summer of 2014, the French bohemian Monsieur Pompadour moved to Berlin. The illustrious circle of his lavish parties included a singing Belgian, a Hungarian violinist, an extremely taciturn bassist and an aristocratic guitar virtuoso. They formed a band and have been convincing ever since with a very special mixture of cheerful swing, ambitious wildness and a pinch of melancholy. Songs, chansons and songs about life and love, sung in four voices and interpreted in the style of their idols Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Monsieur Pompadour gave them the honor of his melodious name for their debut and then disappeared as a stowaway on a luxury steamer.
Line-up:
Ernesto- vocals, guitar
Ferenc Hegedütok- violin, vocals, singing saw
