Swing Gitan is a gypsy jazz piece with French lyrics, written in the manner of the Hot Club repertoire and set in the key of G on the sheet music. Cédric Baetche is credited as the writer of the song. A sheet-music listing also credits Django Reinhardt as composer, but that credit has not been confirmed, so the attribution should be treated with caution.
The original performance is by Mal-O-Dua, recorded in 2016. A related instrumental, "Stéphane Stomp [Swing Gitan]", is credited to Alphonse Masselier and André Dedjean and is listed as the parent work of the song. Later recordings include versions by Hot Club de Norvège, Frank Vignola, Angelo Debarre, Gypsy Swing Revue and Marbin, which reflect the piece's place within the gypsy jazz idiom.
