15th Annual DjangoFest Northwest


  • Whidbey Island Center for the Arts 565 Camano Ave Langley, WA, 98260 United States (map)

As North America’s premier gypsy jazz music festival, DjangoFest Northwest welcomes the genre’s top acts from around the world. Among the lineup for 2015, master guitarist Biréli Lagrène will join us for an exclusive performance — his first U.S. appearance in nearly 10 years — along with the Parisian phenom combo, Les Doigts de l’Homme. 2015 marks the 15th anniversary for our festival, which has grown from a two-day event to five full days of concerts, workshops, and impromptu “djam” sessions. Let’s get djamming!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
