    Django Reinhardt was Manouche, not Sinti, different "tribes" but still Rom. Grappelli wasn't Rom at all, he was a Frenchman who happened to team up with Django in the 30s. Between them, they created a unique approach to jazz which we now call "gypsy jazz," but they would have been baffled by that term back then, it was just jazz to them.

    Sinti and Manouche are cousins, and sometimes are called Sinti-Manouche. The Romanichals of England are also related.
