Canut Reyes, fils du chanteur gitan : José Reyes et membre des Gipsy Kings

Je m'appelle François Marie Reyes dit "Canut" et je suis le fils de José Reyes, chanteur et accompagnateur de Manitas de Plata Baliardo. José Reyes est le père des fils Reyes, membres du groupe Gipsy Kings. Vous ne connaissez pas la véritable histoire de Canut : gitan, chanteur, poète, fils du vent de Camargue. Catherine va se faire son interprète et vous conter l'histoire de sa vie. ©Canut Reyes – CJ 2007 All rights reserved

"As with previous shows the Guys did not disappoint. Okay first of all they played to a SOLD OUT house!!! VIVA LOS GITANOS!!! For Radio City, that says a whole lot.. The crowd was amazing. I remember thinking to myself, as I looked back at the packed house.. WOW!! Not bad for a little group of Gitanos from the South of France.. The show started the usual 20 minutes late. Eh New York time.. We are used to it here.. It's just a given.. They played two hour long sets and the set list was pretty much the same as it has been throughout the whole tour. It was a good mix of their old and new songs. Throughout the show there were some truly incredible moments. For me, the one that particularly stood out was Canut's "Montana". Okay I know it's "Montana" and that song gets sung to death. but the arrangement that they are using for this song is amazing. The most amazing part of the sound had to have been when the remaining Reyes brothers stepped up and sang the final chorus with Canut. And Nicolas adding this wonderful little "dee dai do dee" to the end.. Yeah I know we have all heard this song a million times but there is something so very sweet about it. As I have said before, they were all spot on and the whole night was phenomenal. Tonino did not disappoint and he will never cease to amaze the hell out of me. Again, he and Pacheco (GOD OF ALL PERCUSSION) dueled it out.. This time there was a crowd there who finally appreciated what was happening.. Needless to say when all was said and done, after the song, 3000 plus people all needed cigarettes! The show was simply AMAZING.. Between Tonino and the back up guys during "Sabroso. The amazingly beautiful duet between Andre and Nicolas singing "Como Siento Yo". Both "Sol y Luna" and "Montana" sung only the way Canut can sing them. You all know what I am talking about. The way that Canut pulls at your heart with every note that he sings.. And finally that magnificent smile that lights up the entire venue that beams from Pablo's face. It was truly a remarkable evening and I never get tired of hearing these guys make music. The night ended with the obligatory "Volare" into the "Baila me" "Bambloleo" Encore, but to see a sold out Radio City on their feet dancing and singing their brains out was out of this world! I have always said this it is a blessing to see and hear these guys play. This little group of Gipsies, from the South of France, have managed to capture the hearts of the world. And they have set it's soul into and eternal dance.. That's it from NY.. ~MEL

Canut
Merci de m'envoyer la lumière, il était très aimable à vous, et très utile. Mais dites-moi, mon plus cher frère gitan ce qui peut vous envoyer votre pauvre soeur aujourd'hui en son heure du grand et désespéré besoin, je jugent que j'ai Pacheco (bénissez-le) jouer des tambours dans ma tête, il dois s'être caché dans des ces 3 bouteilles de vin que j'ai bu la nuit passée, Ohhhhhhhh Noooo

Alô Canut!
Algunas preguntitas más (estamos terminando la revista!!)
Pintas y tocas la guitarra desde niño? La guitarra la heredaste de tu padre y la pintura? Es solamente tuya?
Comprendí que tú dijiste que estudiaste poco en la escuela. Eso es malo? Por que no estudiaste como te gustaría? Tienes hijos? Fuerno a la escuela?
Como anda la vida de los gitanos en Europa y en los países donde tocan?
A que grupo/ clan pertencen?
Sabes que mi abuelo, que era español, tenía origen gitana. Él y mi abuela vivieron a la Argentina - él era actor y trabajaba en un banco para mantener sus seis hijos pero su pasión era la poesía y el teatro. Cada uno de sus 6 hijos nació en un distinto lugar del país. Mi madre, en la Patagonia. Ella es viva, una veradera gitana, tiene 80 años, es linda, era actriz y lee las manos de la gente. Es un personaje mi madre. Tengo ganas de hacer una película con ella.
Bueno, ahora a tus respuestas... En tu blog o en mis mails.
