Debi Botos from Budapest, Hungary is coming to the Midwinter Midwest Gypsy Swing Fest with her Trio. From an early age, Debi Botos has cultivated an interest in the Gypsy music of Hungary, where she was born into a family of musicians. Now 28, she continues that exploration in combination with a serious study of the tradition we know as jazz manouche. She excels not only as a interpreter but as a composer and champion of Hungarian traditional Gypsy Jazz.

Guitarist Stephane Wrembel, quite simply is one of the finest guitar players in the world. This prolific musician, composer, educator, and musical director has released a steady stream of music since 2002 truly making his mark as one of the most original guitar voices in contemporary music. In October of 2019, Stephane released Django L’Impressionniste putting the spotlight on 17 little-known solo pieces Reinhardt recorded between 1937 and 1950. Stephane is the first interpreter who has performed all of these solo pieces and collected them in one definitive masterwork and we are lucky, pleased and excited that Stephane will bring his Django L’Impressionniste to the Midwest Gypsy Swing Fest.
