About

The lyrical universe of Doctor Django


Listening to the lyrics of Doctor Django and his Nurses is a journey through urban landscapes, neighborhoods and street corners, evoking clear images of the atmosphere. Other songs will transport the listener to rural settings along deserted highways, and tell stories of real people and life as it is.


One of the most iconic sites along Route 66 is Roy's Motel & Café in the Mojave Desert town Amboy in San Bernadino Country. You may hear Doctor Django and his Nurses' recording of Route 66 playing at Roy's on your next visit. 


As a listener, you are invited to walk down the dimly lit pavement in the song Simplicity, contemplae the way we interact as people in Poor Folks on the Hill, or come home to the people you care about in The Way It Should Be

The music is distinctly its own. Elements of jazz, blues, funk, and progressive tones create an original sound.

Originally, Django began as a classical violinist, graduating from the music academy, working with a suburban symphony in Chicago. Soon, warm winds lured him down to New Orleans where he was greatly influenced by the musical gumbo of the crescent city with its many styles and genres.


Meeting Italian guitarist Enrico Rosa became an important milestone, and Rosa's progressive sounds are fundamental in the present band's music. 


The music of Doctor Django and his Nurses has been warmly welcomed in France, Belgium, Germany and Denmark, where the band has toured for several years and performed at music venues and festivals.  


The band is truly international with Emilian Tupa on bass and Henrik Nielsen on drums and percussion.
