Our three heroes played the end result to some friendly listeners, the feedback persuaded them to drop their individual projects and come up with a repertory of their own.

What triggered it all was an order placed by a film production company: a soundtrack for silent porn films dating from the beginning of the 20th century! They trotted out all their talents. Relatively serious composition, with a Zeitgeist twist: DIY electro, house, dub and hip-hop. A shared craze for manouche jazz (gypsy-style jazz), played in its natural setting, bars. In this case, it was Hugues on the violin, Arnaud on guitar and Carlos on the double bass. It so often starts out like that: a gang of mates who’ve kicked around together for the past ten years and who each get into music off their own bat. Caravan Palace is to swing what the Gotan Project is to tango.

With their “Zazou” look (inspired by Parisian paleo-punks from the 1940s), they serve up festive, frantic music, an improbable futuristic and melodious Charleston fit for the dance floor.

Their project swayed a singer, a clarinettist, a trombonist who doubles up on percussion and a guitarist who also acts as DJ. She has traveled across the globe and uses those experiences to craft her current series, “Threadbare: The Traveling Show.” When she isn’t visiting museums, Alexandra can be found listening to electro-swing at her home just outside of fabulous Las Vegas with her husband, two children, two cats, and an impressive collection of vintage teacups.It all started 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.
