Gypsy Swing is a lively style of jazz music that originated in the 1930s, primarily associated with the music of Django Reinhardt, a pioneering guitarist. This genre blends traditional Romani music with elements of American jazz, characterized by its upbeat tempo, improvisation, and the use of acoustic instruments like guitars, violins, and double bass. The rhythm of Gypsy Swing often features a distinctive "la pompe" style, which provides a steady, driving beat. Musicians typically perform in small ensembles, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. This genre has gained popularity worldwide, inspiring many contemporary artists and musicians to explore its rich musical heritage.
