DJANGO AMSTERDAM
JAN 26, 27 & 28 2018
Django Amsterdam, with concerts, jam sessions, workshops and a kids’ afternoon, is dedicated to the birthday of guitarist Django Reinhardt, the originator of gypsy jazz or swing manouche. This style of acoustic swing jazz became part of the Roma and Sinti culture thanks to Django, who’s generally considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
