“Tchawolo swing” is one of the songs from the soundtrack of “Latcho Drom”, a movie by Tony Gatlif, in which both the great gypsy guitarist Tchawolo Schmitt and guitarist/violinist Dorado Schmitt, are featured.
It has become a classic tune in the gypsy jazz repertoire.
This video was used as an audiovisual aid for Luca Leimer’s graduation thesis at D.A.M.S. department, at the University of Padua. A thesis which of course focused on the manouche music.
We had a great time, shooting this video, and we hope that Luca’s research will continue and will give good results.
