Almada hosts the Manouche Jazz Festival

27th, 28th and 29th of May

Cine Incrível de Almada will host the Manouche Jazz Festival on the 27th, 28th and 29th of May 2022 and will feature the presence of 4 bands, documentary screenings, Lindy Hop and Balboa dance workshops and Manouche Guitar Masterclasses.

Jazz Manouche is a musical expression, inspired by the gypsy guitarist of Manouche ethnicity, Django Reinhardt, from the Quintette du Hot Club de France. The group played swing but with gipsy appropriation under the influence of Django. The formation of this quintet was particular for being composed only of stringed instruments (three guitars, violin and double bass) and because the improvisation of Stéphane Grapelli and Django Reinhardt was highly creative and energetic.

The Manouche de Almada Jazz Festival contributes to this music being established in Almada, making each of us protagonists, with the responsibility of disseminating and perpetuating this music and travelling with it, as is the gipsy style, fulfilling the role of disciples“, explains the organization of the festival, the Alma Danada Creative Association.

With the growing number of supporters of Jazz and this specific genre, through the 10 years of JAZZ’me Thursdays held at Cine Incrível and the previous year’s experience with the zero edition festival, we think it will be enriching to continue with the realization of a festival with the specificity of Manouche that allows not only to liven up the street, in the meantime made pedestrian, adding the aspects of dance, balboa and lindy-hop and also the aspect of cinema/documentary“, adds the festival organization team.
