V/a / Django’s Spirit - A Tribute To Django Reinhardt

Trikont

A Tribute To Django Reinhardt is a cleverly conceptualized collection to mark the centenary of the legendary gypsy guitarist’s birth. Compiled by SUZIE REINHARDT (musician, journalist, granddaughter?), she’s to be commended for taking a less obvious approach than might have been expected. An exceptional musician, born over 100 years ago, Django Reinhardt learned how to play banjo, violin and guitar (his main instrument) through copying and trying, even though he only had three fingers left on his one hand. No wonder Django Reinhardt still excites fans all over the world and inspires numerous artists of all cultures. This CD collection shows how many very different musicians Django has influenced. With contributions from KORMAC, TONY MURENA & SON ENSEMBLE, QUINTETTE DU HOT CLUB DE FRANCE, LIDA GOULESCO, HOO DOO GIRL, MANO RENA, DEAD BROTHERS, COCO SCHUMANN, and many others.
