Tcha Limberger (* 1977 in Bruges ) is a Belgian jazz and world music artist ( guitar , violin , singing, composition) who moves between gypsy jazz and Balkan music.

Live and act

Limberger, grandson of the musician Piotto Limberger, who led the band De Piottos , lost his sight as a toddler. His father, the guitarist and singer Vivi Limberger, gave him musical instruction in the tradition of the Manouches ; at the age of six he received guitar lessons. As a child he gave his first solo appearances as a flamenco guitarist. When he was ten, he started playing the banjo with an amateur New Orleans Jazz bandto play where he developed a love for the clarinet. At the age of 13 he studied modern classical composition with Dick Vanderharst; one of his first works was written for a contemporary Belgian ballet company. Out of an interest in Hungarian gypsy music, he switched from clarinet to violin when he was 17 years old. He lived for several years in Budapest, where he received violin lessons from Bela Horváth and Kallai Zsolt and was instructed in various musical traditions.

In addition to his own groups, Limberger was part of the Waso Quartet , in which he temporarily took his father's position as a guitarist. With the Budapest Gypsy Orchestra he concentrated on the Magyar nóta , with the Kalotaszeg Trio he played Transylvanian folk music and with Les Violons de Bruxelles he approaches the music of Django Reinhardt in a new way. He also worked with Koen De Cauter , Dick van der Harst, Hermann Schamp, Roby Lakatos , Robin Nolan, Stochelo Rosenberg , Wannes Van de Velde, Biréli Lagrène , Fapy Lafertin , Boross Lajos, Puka Karoly, Berki Viktor, Toni Rudi, Christophe Astolfi and the Gipsy Ensemble Kalinka. He wrote the textbook A Melodic Approach to the Music of Django Reinhardt.
