Djangophonique live in Ferndale

Experience Djangophonique live on July 15th

Djangophonique is scheduled to perform at the Ferndale Area District Library on July 15, 2026. The ensemble specializes in “gypsy jazz,” a style originating from the work of Belgian-Romani guitarist Django Reinhardt. Their music blends elements of jazz manouche – characterized by its acoustic guitar-driven sound, fast tempos, and improvisational melodies – with influences from swing, classical music, and occasionally other genres. Instrumentation typically includes acoustic guitars, violin, and upright bass, creating a distinctly vintage and energetic sound.

The Ferndale Area District Library serves the city of Ferndale, Michigan, and surrounding communities. Established in 1948, it initially operated out of a storefront before moving to its current purpose-built facility in 1972. The library underwent a significant renovation and expansion completed in 2018, adding community meeting spaces and enhancing accessibility. It functions as a hub for literacy, lifelong learning, and community engagement offering traditional library services alongside programs for all ages. The library frequently hosts cultural events including musical performances within its community room space. It is part of the Suburban Library Cooperative which facilitates resource sharing amongst libraries in Oakland County.
