Titi Winterstein was born in 1956 in Breisgau(Germany) and is a descendant of a gypsy family. His father "Tokeli" endured the horror of a concentration camp toghether with his brother. Unfortunately these two were slaughtered by the racist forces of the Nazi regime. Titi's father was 18 years old when he was freed from the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Bauchenwald.
Titi grew up in a place called Fort Hartenberg close to Mainz. His father showed him the rudiments of playing the violin when he was 8 years old. Shortly before his 9th birthday, Titi appeared for the first time on a stage at a party that marked the end of a gypsy pilgrimage at Illingen, Saarland. Four years later,age 12, he performed at the same place and under similar circumstances. He both surprized and amazed all present by playng swing music by Schnuckenack Reinhardt and ended up stealing the show.
In 1972 the guitarist Hans'che Weiss found a quintett asking the young Titi to join it. In 1973,he recorded his first LP :"Musik Deutcher Zigeuner".The style of Titi Winterstein is unique, he plays with an incredible energy and rhythm, as well as playing the sweet and "pianissimo" notes. He has a melodic sense of improvisation and a touch that makes him not a "simple" virtuoso, but something much more.
