At 2:46 that's Goran Bregovic and his Orchestra for Weddings and Funerals, I saw them at Samois in 2007, and they were just amazing, they brought the house down. I've been trying to go back to Samois ever since, but haven't made it yet, but watching these videos almost makes it seem that I'm there. Brings back great memories of one of the best vacations I've ever taken. I WILL get back there one day. Great to see George Benson at 6:01.
Hi, nylonsteel, when I went a few years ago I stayed at the Quatre Haas (4 Aces) Hotel in Dammarie-les-Lys on the outskirts of Melun, about 5 miles north-west of Samois, so about a 15 minute drive if you have your own car, and Samois is difficult to get to unless you have a car. About the only public transport there is a shuttle bus from Avon Fontainebleau station. About 50 euros/night 6 years ago. Festival already started so you're out of luck this year unless you're there already!
No I don't think so. This guy has very blond hair (although its not so obvious in the video). I suspect his father is there playing with him in the blue top. I think they spoke Dutch but I could be wrong.

This festival seems like my absolute HEAVEN.

Nice vid great impression.
@TurfoodleWaywocket Thanks!!
Great video, thanks. Does anyone know who the trumpet player was at the very end of the video?
Anyone know how expensive/hard it is to get lodging is there? Love to go someday
Who's the young guy playing at 1.33 and then later at 5.04? I thought he was one of the most "Django" sounding players there.
I think its Dorado Schmidt his son.
