Sing! Sing! Sing! is a theatrical concert and tour of the rhythmic landscapes of the forties and fifties. A fresh combination of Dixieland and jazz that brings together music, choreography, humour, seduction and sophistication. Divinas recreate the great divas and bring us the glamour and savoir faire of those years with a very retro mis-en-scène and a repertoire including swing, jungle, boogie-woogie, Latin rock, tap dancing and ballads. Versions of great songs with brilliant instrumental arrangements and an up-to-date look. Songs like “The preacher”, “Puttin’ on the Ritz”, “I wanna be like you” from The Jungle Book, “Shoo shoo, Baby”, “Don’t bring Lulu” and “It don’t mean a thing” are performed by Divinas and D’Band, a Dixieland combo made up of seven excellent international musicians, who give it their all.

Taking the title of a song by renowned singer, director and composer Louis Prima, Sing! Sing! Sing! (1936) is a celebration of passion, swing –understood not only as a dance, but also as a spirit–, candidness, sensuality and the energy of the music from the interwar period, when, amidst economic and political instability, music filled many lives and perhaps more than ever was the best means to escape from reality and dream.

Sing! Sing! Sing! is a great performance, a party celebrating the best American swing. Pure rhythm and fun.
