About this event
Manouche Jazz Festival celebrating the music of the great Django Reinhardt in the picturesque village of Ramelto, Co. Donegal.
One of the styles of jazz performed is what has today become known as “gypsy jazz” or gypsy swing. This style of jazz is most often attributed to gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grapelli who founded the all strings jazz ensemble, The Quintet du Hot Club de France, in the 1930s in Paris, France.
