Cisco Herzhaft

Cisco Herzhaft, here is a bluesman that will take you on a journey. A slow lively journey, a voyage for eternity. How could this young man, expelled from all the colleges of the Sixties when censure committees of all feathers purged, how could this young man of seventeen not be touched by the charm of blues and its last interpreters? Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, the swan songs of these greats who in extremis went to France singing, through their missing teeth, the spirit of blues.

Cisco Herzhaft is one of the first French bluesmen and unquestionably, today, one of the last "authentic" fingerpickers. Swift, without being virtuosos thank you! his fingers fill the air with a simple and warm nostalgia, struck with catchy rhythms, plucked by guitars picks made famous by the laid back Cisco Herzhaft who never transmits better, than on stage, his folk and bluesy mood.
