Act
Reinhardt, who comes from a Sinto family, started playing the guitar at the age of five and had lessons from his father Bawo. At the age of twelve, he and his cousins performed in the Mike Reinhardt Sextet in the Koblenz area . Until 1991 he played in the sextet; then he worked with Romeo Franz and founded the formation I Gitanos in 1993 with his father Bawo and cousin Degé . Based on gypsy jazz , the band developed a style that integrates Flamenco , Latin and Música Popular Brasileira . They called their style of music Gypsy Goes Latin and were the first Sinti band in Europe to sing Romani only in their own language . The debut album I Suni was created in 1994 , followed by Ab i Reisa (1998). In the following years he performed various projects at festivals such as Rock gegen Hass , the International Cultural Festival Sahara en el Corazón in Algeria, the World Roma Festival Khamoro and the Sidmouth Folk Week .
In 2008 he went on a tour of Australia, where the album and DVD Lulo Reinhardt was recorded Live in Melbourne . In 2009 he toured Europe, the US and Canada with the International Guitar Night . In addition to his own projects, he also played with the Brazilian guitarist Zezo Ribeiro and the Koblenz-based independent band Blackmail . Since 2010 he has been working with his International Latin Swing project, which also includes violinist Daniel Weltlinger , bassist Harald Becher , drummer Uli Krämer and keyboardist Sean Mackenzie . The album of the same name was created in 2010. His album Bawo! (2013) was named “CD of the week” by NDR .
Differentiation from other Reinhardts
Lulo Reinhardt is not to be confused with the French jazz guitarist Lulu Reinhardt (1951-2014) and is not related to Django Reinhardt (despite contrary advertising from organizers and press reports) , like his uncle Daweli Reinhardt , Hundred Years of Music of the Reinhardts. Daweli tells his life (Föhlbach 2003) in his biography writes.
