A musical group with Jazz and Guinguette influences, French Café Swing Band was created in Lyon in 2017 around the repertoire created by Swing accordionists and Gypsy Jazz guitarists of the 40s. This beautiful party music recalls the atmosphere of Paris 1900, popular balls and guinguettes of the Belle Époque with class and virtuosity. The band won the attention of the audience and fans by organizing hundreds of concerts including a tour in Wales. Thus, the experienced musicians of the French Café Swing Band shared stages with great Jazz icons such as Rocky Gresset, Antoine Boyer, Tcha Limberger, les Doigts de l’Homme.
