Django Collective Helsinki is a group of skilled professional musicians sharing the love for the passion and expression of jazz manouche music.

The collective started out in 2011 and have since steadily been performing at jazz festivals, clubs and private occasions. They're also known for hosting jam sessions in Helsinki which have been a phenomenon of sorts for a decade.

The group plays the romantic, traditional and good-humored acoustic swing in the styles on Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli from the 30-50's. The group is also merging the tradition with modern, more creative qualities of jazz expression with it's own original compositions, bringing into being the possible future for this type of music in a fresh way.
