Your Host and Teacher
Nuno Marinho was already an acknowledged Jazz and Music teacher when he decided to dedicate his life to Gypsy Jazz and the Music of Django Reinhardt. As a performer, he traveled the world playing in Europe, Brazil, Angola, India, and the USA.
As a teacher, Nuno has been invited to be part of, none other than, the two biggest and most prestigious Gypsy Jazz Camps in the world: Django in June (Boston, USA), and The Grappelli & Django Camp (Eindhoven, The Netherlands).
The Classes
Each day, the 1st session of the morning is focused on Rhythm playing. In the 2nd session, after lunch, we’ll concentrate on Lead playing. And in the 3rd afternoon session, it’s time for individual classes.
Every time is a good time to jam! Save some energy for the main Jam Session after dinner.
When & Where?
The 2026 Django Portugal Camp takes place in the idyllic Vila Viçosa, the vacation village of our Kings. Book your vacation now: from April 29th to May 3rd for an intense Gypsy Jazz experience.
There’s a pool, a basketball court, bikes, a huge olive tree camp, and plenty of space for jogging and other outdoor activities. The village, castle, and palace are located in the center of the town and are a 4-minute drive. A huge quarry is also a must-visit. And every night after turning off all the lights, you will see the most amazing view of the Milky Way.
Meals & Accomodation
The camp provides all meals and accommodation. There are 4 Private Suites equipped with queen-size beds (suitable for spouses) and hydromassage shower jets. There are 3 small private rooms for individual students. And there are 3 more rooms to be shared either with an extra fellow student or your spouse. Camping fans are welcome to come with their caravans or tents. The facilities are open to everybody.
