Gypsy Jazz & Swing | Eli Doney Ensemble at Sala Quetzal
The Eli Doney Ensemble brings the timeless romance of gypsy jazz and classic swing to Sala Quetzal, an atmospheric performance space inside San Miguel de Allende’s Biblioteca Pública. With Eli Doney on guitar alongside Daniel Dasa and Leo Calderón, the trio delivers virtuosic improvisation, tight rhythms and café-style intimacy that feel right at home in a colonial Mexican city known for its cosmopolitan arts scene.
Scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2026, at 6 p.m., the concert is presented as a 385‑peso donation, inviting residents, expats and visitors to enjoy high-caliber live music while directly supporting one of San Miguel’s most important cultural institutions. For travelers seeking an evening that pairs European jazz traditions with Mexican hospitality and architecture, Gypsy Jazz & Swing offers an elegant, relaxed way to experience the city’s creative energy.
