Concert Review: Caravan Palace Brings Electrifying Swing To Warsaw NYC

Woooowwww !!!!!!! WOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!! That is all I will say about Caravan Palace. No one should feel so alive, and Caravan Palace gives you a performance that shows you are exactly that: ALIVE! Rare are the shows that blast you with an energy you cannot say you feel often. There mashings of jazz, funk, swing, psychedelic, and, basically, every genre known to man, makes Caravan Palace a must watch show.

As you see musicians pile upon the stage like a film crew, your excitement builds; Caravan Palace IS HERE. I love seeing a lot of instruments at play, from clarinet to violin, all jamming from the stage to remind the crowd; they STILL EXIST. The lights blazed and each musician played their instruments like, Warsaw NYC was, actually, a swing club from the 1930’s Paris. The crows went wild as if we were in our own real-life version of La La Land, and Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling came out to dance for us. Now, of course, the actors were not there, but the Caravan Palace were better. As they leaped, swung, bopped, and jived, I, along with the audience, received an exhilaration that seems saved for theater. We were getting entertainment, not a concert, which why they bowed at the end. Their dancing helped shine Caravan Palace and their concert as unique experience, especially because the show is a celebration of music as sound. Yet,singer Colotis Zoé, still proves that the voice is an instrument, as well.

Songs such as, “Lone Digger”, “Wonderland”, and “Black Betty” showed Zoé to be more than a vocalist; she was a stylist. She added woo’s and ahh’s that reminded me of a real-life Betty Book; giving a colorful character to the jazzed rhythms behind her. Of all those on stage, she, definitely, appears like a leader, and seduces and sings to the crowd like she too is feeling the magic behind her. Thus, for an electric circus of old-world glamour and timeless, musical fun Click Here to See Caravan Palace On Tour.
