The music of Djorba's Zango is the outcome of a love for jazz which has travelled over the world picking
up totally different rhythms, themes, songs and languages along the way. Djorba's Zango
combines jazz, gyspy jazz and world music influences in a unique way. Many of Djorba's Zango's
compositions have been found floating in the waters of various ports of the world where the
musicians have found themselves during their travels.
But Djorba's Zango is more than just music.
The philosophy of Djorba's Zango is that the audience, the music and the musicians should work
towards a perfect symbiosis in order to create something unique (in the sense that it is not a
copy of anything which has come before, nor can be copied thereafter).
Djorba's Zango has succeeded in creating countless such unique moments in the most varied places with the most varied audiences. With mountain people below their defence towers in the mountains on the border of Georgia and Chechnya, with city people in the bars of Amsterdam, Tbilisi, Accra, Kampala, Berlin, St. Petersburg and Paris, with children of all ages in orphanages in Georgia and Uganda, with newlyweds and their guests at weddings all over the country, with festivalgoers at various festivals, with moustache-bearing gypsies in Samois-sur-Seine, with presidential bodyguards in helicopters etc.
