Tcha Limberger Trio:

Top players from the international gypsy jazz world will unite for the ninth edition of Django Amsterdam. Every year the festival is dedicated to the birthday of guitar icon Django Reinhardt, originator of gypsy jazz, or swing manouche. The Saturday evening concert features a musical journey by multi-instrumentalist Tcha Limberger, preceded by the quartet of guitar virtuoso Don Vink.
Tcha Limberger sings, plays violin, and tells some of the most beautiful anecdotes from his rich musical past. The repertoire of the blind multi-instrumentalist is vast: songs and instrumentals by Django and other Manouche and Sinti artists, plus everything the trio can handle, such as Hungarian, Romanian, Transylvanian, Serbian, and Greek songs. Tcha was born into one of the great lineages of gypsy jazz. His father Vivi was a member of the now-legendary Waso with Fapy Lafertin and Koen De Cauter. His grandfather, the violinist Piotto Limberger was a contemporary of Django, and he was among the first generation of performers to play Django’s repertoire with a gypsy twist.
