Known for their lively, joyful performances, Djangophonique’s sound is perfect for both jazz lovers and those new to the genre. Their upbeat rhythms and smooth melodies will make for an unforgettable evening of music.

Expect to hear echos of jazz greats like Fats Waller and Cole Porter – it’s going to be a swingin’ good time!”
