Musicians in the family

We have a nephew in Israel, Avraham Tal, who has his own band, Caroline and Cathy know the band. They made records in Israel and they are quite famous there. The father is Maurice Foinquinos Tal my cousin, Albert Foinquinos' son, who lives in a Moshav in the Golan region where he owns a Bed and Breakfast Inn. Caroline told me that the band even tours in Europe and that they played in Geneva for a peace conference.

Another musician is Jojo's son in Paris, Rubin Foinquinos. He composes, plays and sings and I met him for the Bar Mitzvah of Patricia's son Henri in Paris and I can say that he got it. He sang a duo with my niece Valerie and I thought he inherited his voice from his father Jojo (Albert's son), himself a singer and architect.

My nephew Ron, Cathy son, is also a musician, he plays guitar and lives in Tel Aviv, and accompanies singers who record in studios. He is still young but very talented and we'll hear more about his music in the years to come.

Also in Paris, my nephew Henri, Patricia's son, constantly write lyrics, mostly rap music and sings with his friends. He is 17 and is going to the Sorbonne this year to study finance and management.

My sister Caroline loves to sing too, always did and I think always will. Although she is quite busy with her career at the World Intellectual Proprety Organization, she finds time to sing jazz tunes in Geneva or when she is on assignement anywhere in the world. It's called passion and fun. Her websites are:

Simone of Haifa says Gileno and Eric Foinquinos might be related to our family. They are quite popular and any search on the internet brings up their names. So Simone, you need to enlight us.

Last, but not least, there is Anais, my daughter, always sang even before she could talk, she is 10 and knows all the songs of Phantom of the Opera, The Sound of Music, Westside Story, Grease, Anastacia, etc... she already performed in public at her school and for other venues. Her voice teachers tells me that she is a natural. She wants to write her own musicals one day, we'll see...

We also have other creative artists, drawing/painting, fashion design, etc....
