Thierry "Titi" Robin (born 1957 in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France), is a French musician influenced by gypsy, tzigane and Arabic music, and by the musicians Camaron de la Isla and Iraqi oud player Munir Bashir. Robin plays the guitar, oud, and bouzouki. He has given numerous concerts, in South Africa, the Middle East, and France.
He has frequently collaborated with Gulabi Sapera, who has appeared on several of his albums to lend his distinctive vocals peculiar to gypsy motifs. He has also been involved in extensive collaborations with Erik Marchand, a musician from Brittany focusing on reinterpretations of that region's distinctive Celtic music.

[edit] Citation
- "L'idée du voyage n'est pas géographique. Ce qui est vraiment important, c'est le voyage intérieur. Celui que l'on fait quand on construit sa vie, sa démarche artistique. Le voyage le plus intense n'est pas sur la route, mais entre nos rêves et ce qu'on arrive à réaliser. Quand je joue de la musique, c'est à ce niveau-là que ça se passe. A La limite, on s'attache au fait que je joue avec des musiciens indiens, gitans, arabes et qu'on voudrait trouver là-dedans un sens à ma démarche, peut-être est-ce un malentendu."[1]
- Translation: "The idea of travel has nothing to do with geography. What really matters is the inner journey. The trip you take when you are building your life, moving through the artistic process. The most intense voyage is not taken on the road but between our dreams and what we succeed in achieving. When I play music, that's where it happens. People read into the fact that I play with Indian, Gypsy and Arabic musicians. They try to give a meaning to my artistic pursuit from that, but I think it might be a misunderstanding."
