The Green Room under Bluebird Cocktail Bar
1940's Zazous Paris Swing Party
Taking place at the beautiful Green Room in Hampden, we celebrate how the music of Django Reinhardt inspired a new generation of teenage swing dancers during the occupation of Paris in the 1940's. Swing music and dance provided a feeling of liberation for teens and young adults in Paris during this time and was a significant anti-war cultural movement allowing a community to flourish around art and music.
