More info about the project:

Roberto Luti playing an instrumental blues in New Orleans on his iconic National guitar from the 1930’. We shot this at end of April 2025 during the jazz fest. I traveled to New Orleans to document his music and to find out more about the places and the people Robert met when he used to live there, between 1999 and 2008. We didn’t plan this shoot that much so this is recorded pretty spontaneously.

Nowadays Roberto is mainly renowned for his iconic role in the Playing for Change project. He performs on three of PFC's songs around the world, mostly with his National steel guitar. He embraces the blues gospel feel of post Katrina New Orleans.
