Django Festival

11 June, Cosmopolite

Every year since 1980, the gypsy artist Django Reinhardt has been celebrated with his own festival in Norway, a tradition which since then has been copied in more than 50 countries. The Norwegian Django Festival is the oldest of these, and was strated by Jon Larsen from Hot Club de Norvège.

Many of the greatest names within string swing music have stood on the Django Festival stage. The biggest Django Festivals today take place in Paris and New York.

Cosmopolite have hosted the Django Festival since 1992.
