Fapy talks about ways to feel the pulse by improvising without a rhythm section.

Considered one of the legends of Gypsy Jazz, Fapy Lafertin was born in the Sinti community, and took up guitar at the age of five. After performing in a family band with his father on violin and his brother on second guitar, he joined the Piotto Limberger orchestra. He also toured with his uncle, Bamboula Ferret.

In the 1970s and '80s he played with the band WASO. In 1985 he began a quartet which has featured Rudi Brink, Tim Kliphuis, and Joop Hendricks. He based the quartet on the Quintette du Hot Club de France. He began a solo career and toured throughout Europe and the UK. He has played with American jazz musicians, such as Charlie Byrd, Al Casey, Scott Hamilton, Milt Hinton, and Benny Waters. Briefly he performed with Stéphane Grappelli.
