Setouchi Django Street in SumidaSun, 10/19, Tokyo Metropolis
A jazz event originating from the Seto Inland Sea—rich in history and culture—will be held in Tokyo as a sister event. The highlight is performances by artists who carry on the spirit of Django Reinhardt, rooted in the genre that blends the unique scales of Gypsy jazz with swing jazz. Precisely because this style is relatively niche within the jazz world, the event offers a chance to experience a new cultural scene and foster regional exchange through music. Why not enjoy it as if you were traveling while listening to the music?
