=0D=0A= =0D=0A=The Victoria Django Festival is pleased to announce the fourth annual festival in Victoria, BC, with this year's headliner, The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet. A master guitarist originally from Argentina, now residing in California, Gonzalo Bergara is at the forefront of the modern Gypsy Jazz genre. Marc Atkinson Trio, Daniel Lapp, Dennis Chang, The Capital City Syncopators and Sound of Light Circus act round out the Valentine's weekend event. The Hot Club of Paris tradition is the perfect way to fire up the heat in the midst of winter, and since 2012, the festival has grown from a one-night, one-off event, to a two-day, sold-out extravaganza of the very best in local and international Gypsy Jazz and modern manouche.
=0D=0A=Friday night at White Eagle Hall kicks off the weekend with a Dance and Speakeasy featuring Canada's top Djangologist Dennis Chang (Montreal) along with island favorites Caravan, and special guests. Saturday night promises an epic experience with the Opera House Stage (concert-style) in St. Andrews Church and Hot Club (dance party) in the Kirk Hall, with The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet, The Marc Atkinson Trio, Dennis Chang, The Capital City Syncopators and perhaps a special guest or two. The whole event is as usual, topped off with delicious food and drink from local sponsors Hoyne Brewery, The Whole Beast, The Hot and Cold Cafe and Famoso Pizza, as well as dance competitions hosted each night by The Swing Dance Association of Victoria. In addition, performing both Friday and Saturday this year are Sound of Light, a fire-spinning circus act combined with thrilling flamenco guitar.
