DjangoFest is a series of music festivals celebrating the music of Django Reinhardt and other forms of Gypsy jazz and traditional Romani music. There are three annual festivals: DjangoFestNW, a 5-day festival produced by Whidbey Island Center for the Arts;[1][2] DjangoFest San Francisco, a three-day festival held at the Throckmorton Theater in Mill Valley, California;[3] DjangoFest Los Angeles, a one-day festival held in Laguna Beach;[4] and DjangoFest Colorado, held in Mt. Crested Butte.[5]
This blend of Eastern European melodies, Parisian Bal-musette, Spanish Flamenco, and American Swing music was created by Reinhardt and fellow Romani musicians in the cafes of Paris during the 1930s and 1940s.[6]
There are related festivals in other parts of the world such as Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois-sur-Seine, France and another in Hildesheim, Germany.[7]
