  • Les Yeux Noirs is the name of a French band combining elements of jazz manouche and other Romani music, Yiddish and Klezmer music. The group was founded by two brothers, Eric and Olivier Slabiak, who both play violin. Other members of the band at its inception were: Franck Anastasio (double bass and electric bass), Georghe Ene (Accordion), Pascal Rondeau (guitar), and François Perchat (cello). Later, Aidje Tafial (drums) and Marian Miu (cymbalom) were added, and Georghe Ene was replaced on the accordion by Constantin Bitica. Their music style combines traditional melodies from their many inspirations (Klezmer, Romani music, and Gypsy Jazz) as well as more modern Jazz styles. Many of their albums contain everything from a Yiddish lullaby to a rousing, dance-inspiring fusion of klezmer violin with modern sampling and Arabic drums. Their name is taken from a 19th Century tune generally described (inaccurately) as a Russian Gypsy song, made popular by Django Reinhardt among many others.
  • Les Yeux Noirs, groupe français de musique yiddish et tzigane, est né sous l'impulsion de deux frères violonistes, Olivier et Eric Slabiak, dont l'oncle Léo Slab jouait déjà du violon manouche avec le fameux Hot Club de France de Django Reinhardt. Le groupe comptait six membres à sa naissance en avril 1992, pour cinq instruments différents : deux violons (Olivier et Eric Slabiak), une contrebasse, un accordéon (Georghe Ene, remplacé depuis par Constantin Bitica), une guitare (Pascal Rondeau) et un violoncelle (François Perchat), auxquels se sont rajoutés une batterie (Aidje Tafial) et un cymbalum (Marian Miu).
