Cognac - Caravan Palace
Cognac is the home of the world reknown French brandy, named after the town.

In summer the town hosts, supported by hundreds of volunteers, the &quot;Fête Du Cognac&quot;, a festival combining food, drinks - and music.

I had seen &quot;Caravan Palace&quot; a year ago in Nice and a later again in Hamburg´s Mojo Club. 

Their performance on stage is great, even more energetic, than a year before. The music is a fast and powerful &quot;electric swing&quot; influenced by sounds from Django Reinhardt to Daft Punk.

Frontwoman Zoé Colotis is a vibrant vocalist and a phantastic dancer. Members of Caravan Palace (beside Zoé) are Charles Delaporte (double bass), Hugues Payen (violin),  Antoine Toustou (trombone), Arnaud Vial (guitar), Camille Chapelière (clarinet/sax.), Paul-Marie Barbier (vibraphone).
