The Django Reinhardt Festival celebrated its 50th anniversary this year
Gulgun Gunal | July 2018
Django Reinhardt Festival is a jazz festival that took place from 07/05/2018 to 07/08/2018 in Fontainebleau near Paris (France).
On June 30, 2018 Django Reinhardt Festival opened with free concerts dedicated to the memory of Django Reinhardt and his music, on the village square of Samois-sur-Seine, the historic site of the festival.
The Django Reinhardt Festival also celebrated the 50th anniversary of its creation in the park of the Château de Fontainebleau.
The festival dedicated this edition to Didier Lockwood, emblematic jazz artist of the festival. For this raison, this 50th edition invited famous stars such as George Benson, Marcus Miller, Biréli Lagrène and the best representatives of contemporary jazz. But also discoveries and a new generation of young artists.
I am delighted to photograph the festival, although partially, on July 8th.
