Thank you for visiting us at SOMAPSO Headquarters, Stéphane!
We were lucky enough to get a chance to sit down with Stéphane Wrembel, a prolific musician and one of the finest guitar players in the world.
Stéphanel has headlined Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall in NYC, and The Lyon Opera House in France. He has toured Canada, France, Israel, the UK, India, and Nigeria and played at jazz festivals around the world. His original composition “Bistro Fada,” is the theme song for Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar®-winning film, “Midnight In Paris” – a soundtrack that won a Grammy®
He is also the founder and organizer of the Django a Gogo Camp and Festival that take place in Maplewood, NJ, and New York City.
We had a great time chatting with Stéphane and we hope you enjoy listening to this bonus episode as much as we enjoyed making it! (And get your tickets to the festival before they are sold out!)
