Dorado Schmitt November 15, 2012

Dorado Schmitt is a egendary Manouche gypsy guitarist from the Strasbourg region of France. A Django lookalike with his pencil thin mustache, he suffered a terrible accident years ago as Django Reinhardt did in his life. Dorado's was a car accident that put him in a coma for a long time and damaged his body, but he miraculously recovered. Django lost two fingers in a fire in his caravan which led to the incredible style of music he created due to his special fingering on the guitar. Dorado carries on the legacy of Django with the help of other gifted musicians.
