Titi Robin is a French musician, composer, improviser and poet who has developed an original aesthetic universe linked to the Mediterranean world, at the confluence of gypsy, oriental and European cultures. He plays the guitar, bouzouq and 'oud as part of his many projects, which have taken him all over the world. Here he performs as part of an original and original trio, surrounded by two excellent percussionists from Angers: Tobie Koppe, passionate about Afro-Cuban and Afro-Latin rhythms, and Vincent Couprie, steeped in Oriental styles. Living in the same village in the Coteaux du Layon, the trio was formed in 2020, after the first confinement, in order to maintain local access to the arts in this period of cultural restriction.
