Underdogs Gallery, like fellow underdog Atlaslisboa, managed to survive COVID thus far. Mostly due to luck, but in part, because we both know that time isn't linear, and because we still have a dream.

Belgian-born Romani-French jazz guitarist, composer, and godfather of gypsy jazz Jean (aka Django) Reinhardt was, according to Wikipedia and many in Lisbon, the "first major jazz talent to emerge from Europe and remains the most significant."
