Damir Kukuruzović Django group is of homage to the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, the two who celebrated European music of the 20th century, and Kukuruzović, who is the owner of the Siscia jazz club, has long been regarded as one of Django Reinhardt’s most prominent followers. The most famous promoter of French jazz in this region, Kukuruzović’s band, performed at all relevant festivals at home and abroad, promoting the Django music and jazz tradition. He collaborated with Robin Nolan, Angel Debarre, Raphael Fays, Ludovic Beier, Wawa Adler, Yorgui Loeffler, Adrian Burns and many other world renowned musicians.
