Artist Info

(from artist’s site) -
In the Basque region, where Sylvain Luc is from, there is music within the crystalline air. And there is song: full; lyrical; primal. Here, music is in the head long before it is under the fingers. Sylvain’s genius lies in putting melody always at the forefront of his compositions. It is only later that we become aware of his internationally praised virtuosity as an instrumentalist. “Technique has never been my goal. Music is not a contest. You play music; you live music. Music should be shared — it shouldn’t divide people.”

Sylvain’s love of sharing begins in his hometown of Bayonne (on the Spanish border), in the heart of the ‘60’s, to the beat of his musical elders. They ring in his ears, along with the waltzes, gypsy melodies, Basque folk music, and popular songs that inform him.
