But where does Oncle Strongle come from? New Orleans, Chicago or Harlem? From none, but all: as soon as you hear the first notes, you'll find yourself in the smoky atmosphere of a clandestine bar, or prohibition style speakeasy...
From bars to cafés, from fetes to festivals, the six protagonists of the story have acquired a solid experience of the stage. They started out with re-living the classics but now are developing their own songs, thus creating their own history and genuinely personal musical style.
"New Orleans is not dead" was their motto on many tours and the sextet still relies on the upbeat swing, the sound and the looks of the 1930s. Each musician has brought his bag, and in their shared cooking pot can be found a pinch of afro-beat, chunks of mambo and the zest of the Balkans....spiced up with a good dash of rock & roll and sprinkled with swing!
Seasoned stage performers, Oncle Strongle will take you inside their live black and white, slapstick, screwball swing cartoon. All audiences will be thrilled by an energy you would not expect from an acoustic formation.
Invite Oncle Strongle to all occasions: he will deliver.
