LA BOUCHE MANOUCHE feat. IRENE SERRA PRESENT AN EVENING OF GYPSY JAZZ
21 Oct 2023 7:30 pm
After her brilliant concert with Tim Boniface at the LAC in 2022, Irene Serra is back with her jazz quintet!
Join us for an evening of much-loved gypsy jazz tunes and foot-tapping swing numbers from the Great American songbook. La Bouche Manouche featuring Irene Serra present an evening of much-loved gypsy jazz tunes and foot-tapping swing numbers from the Great American songbook, all in their inimitable Manouche style!
For this performance, they will be showcasing music from their newly released second album, “Got A Little Rhythm!” and playing a set of their most popular repertoire that has seen them amass over 5 million views on Youtube. From Django Reinhardt originals to Billie Holiday classics, favourite swing tunes, French chansons and tangos, this show is an unmissable evening of gypsy jazz celebration.
Featuring critically-acclaimed Irene Serra on vocals, La Bouche Manouche is a vintage jazz quintet influenced by the chic era of the Jazz Age. Their creative repertoire is rooted in the sound of the Parisian Hot Club, featuring Django Reinhardt originals, gypsy tunes and Edith Piaf classics as well as Charlestons, Latin flavours and the Great American Songbook.
