Django Collective Helsinki

The Best In Finnish Jazz Manouche!

Django Collective Helsinki is a group of skilled professional musicians sharing the love for the passion and expression of acoustic swing jazz of the european romani people. The Collective started out in 2011 and have been performing at jazz festivals, clubs and private occations frequently since then. They are specially popular for their welcoming and warm-hearted jam-concerts, which have become a phenomenon of sorts in Helsinki. It is the romantic, traditional and good-humored Gypsy Swing in the styles on Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli from the 30-50’s. The group is also merging the tradition with modern, more creative qualities of jazz expression with it’s own original compositions, bringing into being the possible future for this type of music in a fresh way.
