Renaud Garcia-Fons ,1962年12月24日出生于巴黎, 法國低音提琴演奏家和作曲家, 以擅長使用5弦BASS聞名.他的父親是畫家Pierre Garcia-Fons, 他的家庭原籍西班牙的加泰羅尼亞. 所以他對西班牙以及東方文化的熱愛和密切關(guān)注是可以理解的. 在80年代早期,他在Paris Conservatory學(xué)習(xí), 他受教于Fran?ois Rabbath, 他演奏arco的特殊技能就是從Francois那里學(xué)來的. 他聞名于他壓倒性的精湛技巧,他地中海風(fēng)情的旋律感和他演奏col arco時如中提琴般的音色.
Garcia-Fons不止受JAZZ和古典音樂的影響, 還深受弗拉明戈 還有新musette風(fēng)格, 以及 "imaginary folklore"(虛構(gòu)民俗?我不理解這個是什么流派,大家給點意見) 傳統(tǒng)的影響.他在 Roger Guérin的樂隊里開始了他的爵士演奏生涯. 從1987到1993年間,他先是法國一個叫做L'Orchestre de Contrebasses 獨特的樂隊的成員,這個樂隊是一個全部由DOUBLE BASS組成的樂隊.之后,他在Claude Barthélémy 指揮的Orchestre National de Jazz 樂隊里演奏.他的藝術(shù)特質(zhì)促成了他與很多其他觀念開放的爵士藝術(shù)家的精彩成功的合作,例如 Jean-Louis Matinier, Michael Riessler, Nguyên Lê, 以及 Michel Godard.
事實上他現(xiàn)在專注做自己的音樂, 但仍舊錄吉他演奏家Gerardo Nú?ez的作品,還有一些東方演奏家比如 Kudsi Erguner, Dhafer Youssef, 甚至 Cheb Mami.

Sometimes referred to as "the Paganini of double bass," Renaud Garcia-Fons is a composer and five-string bass player who was deeply influenced by the brilliant bassist Fran?ois Rabbath. Garcia-Fons actually started his studies in music at an early age. He began with piano when he was only five, switched to classical guitar at eight, and then to rock in his teens, finally settling on the bass when he was 16. Garcia-Fons lives in Paris and has toured through Germany and Europe performing at festivals. In 1987, he became a member of the Orchestre de Contrebasses. He remained with them for six years, also appearing with the Orchestre National de Jazz during some of that time. ENJA Records released Garcia-Fons' solo debut, Légendes, in the '90s. Alboreá was his next release. The album featured his quartet of Jean-Louis Matinier on accordion, Jacques Mahieux on drums, and Yves Torchinsky on bass. Garcia-Fons' third album, Oriental Bass, which he composed, was released in 1998. Next, he combined talents with accordionist Jean-Louis Matinier on the album Fuera. Garcia-Fons' music is a rich gypsy mix of global jazz flavored with Indian, Greek, African, flamenco, Latin American, tango, and new musette. On many works he is accompanied by a variety of instruments, including guitar, lute, derbouka, flutes, trombone, and accordion.
