Swing à la Django
Swing à la Django is an innovative six-membered band, who have created a special style-mix in their music harmonizing gypsy swing, authentic bossa nova, Hungarian folk music, French chansons, tango and jazz. This has resulted in a unique style that they call ‘django pop’ based on virtuoso instrumental improvisations mixed in many genres.
Their music is originally inspired by legendary Django Reinhardt, following the footsteps of Reinhardt by evoking the atmosphere of the 30s-40s and transfer it to today's modern music milieu.
The band members have already toured the world with National Philharmonic Orchestra (HU), the group Besh’o’drom, the Dohnányi Symphonic Orchestra (HU) and many more.
They scored great success with their full house, sold-out concerts in the Palace of Arts (MÜPA) in Budapest, together with the Dohnányi Symphonic Orchestra from Budafok, in Debrecen's Kölcsey Centre with the Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra, and in the Városmajor Open Air Theatre in Budapest, with Stochelo Rosenberg, Roby Lakatos and Bangó Margit and many more.
Since their formation the band has been a solidary entity based on spiritual and musical friendship, and has given the most virtuoso concerts in Hungary, Europe and other countries/continents as well, to the greatest joy of their ever growing crowd of fans.
