About Django Reinhardt

Born in Belgium in 1910, Django Reinhardt was a pioneering jazz guitarist and composer of Romani descent. Despite a fire accident that left him with limited use of his left hand, he became one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He co-founded the Quintette du Hot Club de France, which significantly influenced the development of European jazz.

Reinhardt's music often reflected the struggles and resilience of the human spirit. While his work primarily focused on instrumental compositions, themes of French patriotism, revolutionary resistance, and the fight for liberty resonated through his innovative and emotive style, particularly during the challenging times of World War II.
