Django à Gogo Music Festival

Back by popular demand, this year marks the 2nd edition of the Django a Gogo Los Angeles, a music festival dedicated to the art of the greatest guitar master who ever lived: Django Reinhardt. This one-of-a-kind 3-day festival features a stellar lineup, including the internationally acclaimed Stephane Wrembel Band, the enchanting Aurore Voilqué from France on violin, the charismatic Simba Baumgartner from France on guitar (Django Reinhardt’s great-Grandson), the vivacious Russell Welsh hailing from the heart of New Orleans, Baltimore-based guitar virtuoso Sam Farthing, Tommy Davy on guitar, Luanne Homzy on violin (the two are part of the LA-based Trio Dinicu, specialized in Eastern European Gypsy Folk).

Nightly concerts are headlined by The Stephane Wrembel Band with special guests. The repertoire follows the Django canon and veers into reinterpretation, improvisation and interplay between musicians from various backgrounds.
