The French are famed for the life they bring into aesthetics and on World Music Day, also known as ‘Fête de la Musique’, it is customary for the French Ministry of Culture to spread the joys of music across the globe by organising celebratory events inviting all to enjoy the tunes of French harmony. 

A jazz band of four talented young musicians from France, Gala Swing Quartet play their compositions inspired by the great names of Jazz: a bit of Dr Dre, a touch of funk, a touch of groove, and the classics of Django Reinhardt. 

They will be touring Sri Lanka on the occasion of International Music Day and delight the audiences with entertaining gypsy rhythms, performing jazz manouche songs and instrumental plays inspired by Balkan music.
