LE DANCING PEPA Swing Band
The energy on stage is guaranteed when Le Dancing Pepa plays. This swing jazz sextet from Valencia takes us back to the New York of the 1920s. The legacy of that era is evident in every one of their performances. The best of blues, lindy hop, classic swing, and jazz are reinterpreted in a modern style. Le Dancing Pepa's rhythm section includes guitar, drums, and double bass, while the melodic section features trombone, trumpet, and alto saxophone. The group has a large repertoire of original arrangements of jazz classics, as well as their own compositions. A swing band with a lot of freshness! They has released three studio albums [Black Coffee – White Pepper, Hat'n Dance, and Dancin' in Storyville], and one EP, Balboa Lovers. All of their works include a selection of songs and tempos perfect for dancing. In addition, their regular musical repertoire includes pieces by the group's former pianist, Eduard Marquina. Since their beginnings in 2014, Le Dancing Pepa has toured all over Europe. Their consistency and talent have taken them to perform nationally and internationally at major swing and jazz festivals such as: • Move Your Bottom - Valencia • Summer Camp - Toulouse • Birthday Jam - Wroclaw • Nits del Swing de Caixa Forum - Valencia, Madrid, Zaragoza, and Seville • Jazz Festival - Dènia • Valencia Balboa Festival - Valencia • Winter Black Festival - Alcoi • Jazz Festival - Valencia Le Dancing Pepa.
