Marion & Sobo Band: Gomera Album Tour

Gypsy jazz, global rhythms and multilingual chanson.Marion & Sobo Band make their London and England debut at Toulouse Lautrec, bringing music from their latest album Gomera and a joyful blend of gypsy jazz, swing and chanson.Led by French-American vocalist Marion Lenfant-Preus and Polish guitarist Alexander “Sobo” Sobocinski, the quartet moves between the musical worlds of France, Cuba and the Balkans.

Songs in French, English, Spanish and Romanes sit alongside original compositions and fresh interpretations of vintage favourites, with Django Reinhardt’s swinging spirit running through the repertoire.Having shared the stage on several occasions with world-class guitarists Joscho Stephan and Lulo Reinhardt, the band brings an adventurous approach to acoustic music.

Nimble guitar work, expressive violin, inventive scat singing and the pulse of double bass create a sound that can be delicate and contemplative one moment, colourful and fiercely energetic the next, all without a drummer.The stage is their home.

For more than 14 years, these musicians, travellers and composers have connected with audiences across generations and cultures through their shared love of music.

Their performances are full of charm, humour and spontaneous interplay, with an enthusiasm that draws listeners into every song.Join them for a special first appearance in London for an evening of swinging strings, musical discovery and the sheer pleasure of playing together.Presented by Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club.This is an 12+ event
