ANGELO DeBARRE GYPSY GUITAR TRIO

SATURDAY, SEPT. 21st | 7:30 PM

Join us for an unforgettable evening with the legendary Angelo Debarre, a virtuoso of Romani jazz guitar. Born in the vibrant streets of Saint-Denis, Paris, Debarre’s passion for music ignited at the tender age of eight. His journey led him to form the Angelo Debarre Quintet in 1984, captivating audiences with his dynamic performances.

By 1985, Debarre’s quintet became the heart of Parisian café culture, playing at La Roue Fleurie and catching the eye of producer and guitarist Jon Larsen. Since then, Debarre has graced numerous festivals and stages, including the esteemed Birdland’s annual Django Reinhardt Festival.

His album, Mémoires: Memories of Django, recorded with the talented Tchavolo Schmitt, is a testament to his profound connection with the spirit of Django Reinhardt. Don’t miss the chance to witness the mastery of Angelo Debarre live, as he headlines DjangoFestNW 2024. Reserve your spot and be part of a musical legacy that continues to inspire and enthrall!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
