Samarabalouf
Samarabalouf gives a fresh twist to the heritage of jazz legend Django Reinhardt. The acoustic trio from Amiens, France, plays original Gypsy-swing jazz tunes spiced with elements of tango, boogie-woogie, and rumba flamenco. Founder and lead guitarist François Petit launches into high-speed improvisations with punkish energy and the flair of a born showman. Samarabalouf has toured regularly in the U.S. and central Canada in the past four years, and makes its Vancouver debut on Saturday (May 3) at the Capilano College Performing Arts Theatre.
