Tango and Gypsy Swing Guitar Workshop

This workshop brings together two exceptional guitarists whose work explores the meeting points between tradition, improvisation, and personal expression. Rudi Flores and Sébastien Giniaux will lead participants through the distinctive languages of tango and gypsy swing, focusing on rhythm, phrasing, accompaniment, interpretation, and dialogue between instruments.

Participants will gain insight into the musical vocabulary, stylistic details, and expressive qualities that define these traditions. The session will look at how guitarists can approach melody, harmony, groove, and ensemble interaction while maintaining a strong individual voice.

Designed as a practical and inspiring encounter, the workshop is suitable for guitarists interested in expanding their stylistic range and deepening their understanding of acoustic performance. It also offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with two artists featured in the festival’s concert programme, connecting the learning experience with the music presented on stage.
