Since the Romany people originated in India, the show follows the Roma trail from India to Spain and explores the music along the way. This show draws on a talented pool of musicians, each of whom provide their unique musicality and energy to make and shape this original and exciting show. The Road to Django was put together after Cam Neufeld attended the Django festival in Samois, France in 2010 that celebrated Django’s 100th birthday. That same year Cam traveled to India to explore the roots of Django’s music, continuing through the Balkans, Spain and France studying and composing music. Since then, Cam has made many more trips to India, Turkey and the Balkans playing and researching the music of the Roma. Many of the compositions in this show were written while traveling. Following the Roma trail from India through Persia, Turkey, the Balkans, and Spain, ending with the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt, this show will take you on a musical journey through exotic lands to the swing era of the Quintet of the Hotclub of France!
