The performance, starting at 8:00 PM, focuses on the most popular melodies of the swing era in Spain during the post-war period. Tickets are priced at a single rate of 12 euros and are available at the theatre's box office and online at www.giglon.com.
The show pays tribute to the first Spanish swing singers (1940-1955), who incorporated popular melodies and adaptations from France, Germany, and the United States into their repertoire, with lyrics that reflected or adapted to the social norms of the time.
“"It is much more than a concert. It is a scenic event, a celebration of complicity, improvisation, and humor. A stage duel between voice and clarinet with iconic 1950s costumes and a swing band that invites the audience to be part of the chorus."
During the performance, songs that marked the arrival of swing, cabaret, and jazz in Spain are interpreted, analyzed, and contextualized. Important female figures from that era such as the brilliant Rina Celi, Mary Merche, or the Hermanas Russell (evoking the American Boswell Sisters) are recovered.
