Djangatos is a Los Gatos-based acoustic trio that plays in the improvisational, fiercely rhythmic, and lyrical style of legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Often performing across the Bay Area and Santa Cruz Mountains, they specialize in "Gypsy Jazz," blending American swing with European Romani traditions.
The trio keeps the spirit of "Hot Club Jazz" alive by honoring the 1920s and 30s era of the Quintette du Hot Club de France. Their upbeat performances and interpretations of "Jazz Manouche" aim to spread positivity while honoring the immense adversity, survival, and joy that birthed the genre.
