Paul “Tchan Tchou” Vidal is the most respected musician of the
“Southern” school of Gypsy guitar playing. Unlike Django who was a
Manouche or Sinti Gypsy, Tchan Tchou was from the Gitane tribe which
has roots in Spain. Hence, his music had a strong flamenco influence.
He also absorbed other Mediterranean influences, most notably Corsican
folk music.

with nearly anyone who asked. The video archive aims to continue her
generosity now that she is gone.
