Big band sound in Wahlwies: An evening full of 20s magic!

Wahlwies, Deutschland - in Wahlwies it will be musically exciting on Friday, June 27th. In the fruit hall next to the Winkelstüble there is a concert that brings the sound of the "Roaring Twenties" to life. The hall is completely cleared to make room for a stage, which is constructed from tungsten boxes of Wolfram Renner and Uwe Ladwig. The creative redesign also includes a black background and atmospheric lighting, while a patent seating with tables for drinks offers the guests the perfect atmosphere.

The program promises a real festival for jazz lovers. With music in the style of the 1920s, a vintage orchestra will present the pieces in special arrangements, which include a bass saxophone. Well -known melodies made from films by Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy as well as a touch of Cotton Club in Harlem and the magnificent ball rooms from Detroit are particularly noteworthy. Singer Enrico Orlandi will perform classics such as "Am I Blue", "Clementine from New Orleans" and "My Pretty Girl".

a look into the past

Bandleader Uwe Ladwig will not only play music, but also entertained with interesting anecdotes about the Golden Zwanziger and Prohibition in the USA. The prohibition, which started in 1920, made the manufacture, sale and possession of alcohol in the United States illegally. This law led to a heyday of illegal bars, known as speakasies in which jazz music flourished. These forbidden establishments attracted people from all social classes and promoted a cultural mixing that was unimaginable until then. Flapper, the typical fashion cones of this era, were known for their rebellious style and unconventional lifestyle, which often met with criticism in society at the time.

jazz music, which already existed before the prohibition, experienced a real boom through the underground night club culture of the 1920s. Famous artists such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington performed in renowned clubs that were controlled by Mobstern to entertain the audience and increase sales. To date, this time of informal and new freedoms not only shapes the music scene, but also social interaction.
