About
Following the successful centenary concert of the Clichy Concert Band, which brought together nearly 900 spectators at Clichy Hall, the Théâtre Rutebeuf is taking over the venue once again for a grand event featuring jazz, swing, and Cuban music.
For the occasion, two iconic ensembles from Clichy's musical life unite their talents. The BBCC opens the evening with the communicative energy of big jazz bands, featuring brilliant brass, driving rhythms, and improvisations inspired by the genre's standards.
Then, the Orquesta MI SOL sweeps the audience away to the warm rhythms of Cuba. Accompanied by a pair of dancers, musicians and spectators are invited to share a true "Ron Danzón," a Cuban version of a tea dance, where the music is experienced as much as it is heard.
Conceived as a grand festive and popular moment, Havana Jazz Club celebrates the richness of amateur practices and the dynamism of Clichy's musical associations. An invitation to listen, dance, and share an afternoon colored by Havana.
