Remembrance of the birthday of Jean (Django) Reinhardt (Liberchies, January 23, 1910 – Samois-sur-Seine (Fontainebleau), May 16, 1953). He was a Belgian manouche or Sinti guitarist. His predilection was jazz. He developed a unique style known as jazz manouche or gipsy jazz, and he is now considered one of the greatest musicians in Belgian jazz history.

Reinhardt composed hundreds of pieces, some of which became standards in jazz music, such as Minor Swing (1937), Nuages ​​(1940), Swing 42 (1941), and Djangology (1945).

We (Stochelo Rosenberg, Paulus Schäfer, and Mozes Rosenberg) are Sinti guitarists, represented by Sinti Music, who honor Django Reinhardt with great respect and admiration. They develop gypsy jazz into a contemporary style.
