The brilliant Italian guitarist Dario Napoli draws inspiration from the legacy of the legendary Django Reinhardt, but he is not afraid to experiment. He brings elements of bebop, funk and modern jazz to traditional gypsy swing. And in doing so, he creates a fresh and unexpected sound full of energy! His trio is rounded out by two phenomenal musicians - Tonino De Sensi on bass and Benji Winterstein on rhythm guitar, who is considered by music critics to be one of the world's best players in this genre. Dario and his band have performed at some of the most prestigious festivals and stages in the world, so of course he cannot miss the biggest Roma festival in the world.
The Khamoro Festival is the largest professional Roma festival in the world. Since 1999, it has been organised in Prague by Slovo 21 and Studio Production Saga. In that time, more than 260 bands from 33 countries have performed at the festival - including world-famous supergroups such as Mahala Rai Banda, Kochani Orkestar and Parno Graszt.
In addition to concerts by Romani bands from around the world, Khamoro also offers exhibitions, a children's day, storytelling, film screenings, dance workshops and professional conferences. Approximately 10,000 people from the Czech Republic and abroad visit the festival every year. The main purpose of Khamoro is to connect the Roma minority and the majority through art. Since the beginning, the festival has been supported by Václav Havel, among others. Khamoro is a holder of the prestigious EFFE Label - a European quality label.
