Biography

Debarre was born in Saint-Denis, Paris, and began playing at age eight.[1] In 1984, he formed his first group, the Angelo Debarre Quintet. In 1985, the group was hired by Serge Camps to play at his Parisian café, La Roue Fleurie, where Debarre was discovered by producer and guitarist Jon Larsen.

Debarre has performed in several Romani and jazz festivals, including Birdland's annual Django Reinhardt Festival.[2] He recorded Mémoires: Memories of Django with Tchavolo Schmitt.
