Caravan Palace (CD)

Caravan Palace is a French Electroswing band based in Paris. The group formed in 2005 after three of the band members were hired by a film production company to provide the soundtrack to silent 100 year old pornographic movies.
With a double bass player, a guitarist and a violinist; all highly talented musicians who are really into swing, Django addicts who enjoy tinkering with electro. Their project swayed a singer, a clarinettist, a trombonist and a guitarist. The Group was born.
With their “Zazou” look (inspired by Parisian paleo-punks from the 1940s), they serve up an improbable futuristic and melodious Charleston fit for the dance floor. What unites them is a shared craze for manouche jazz (gypsy-style jazz), played in its natural setting: bars. Relatively serious composition, with a Zeitgeist twist: DIY electro, house, dub and hip-hop.
Caravan Palace’s secret is a supersonic buzz on the Internet and a year on the road with hard-hitting concerts, even before they released their record. Veterans from the classic manouche jazz scene have been left speechless. Caravan Palace debut release in France has sold 120,000+ units, and was at #11 on the top-selling album album charts in August 2009.
The excellent Caravan Palace musicians, who are of course “gadjos” (non-gypsies), have breathed fresh air into the timeless swing scene without coming across as preachers. As well as listeners with curious ears, the Caravan also has its own following, a horde of fans totally into the electro vibe, who turn up at each of their concerts.
