MARLENE IN HAVANA live from Sands Films Music Room.
The year is 1957 and Marlene Dietrich performs in Havana, Cuba, THE nightclub capital of the world. Marlene’s film career is almost over and she is beginning a new career, in cabaret, back where she started. In the club ‘Sans Soucis’, 1920’s Berlin meets 1950’s Cuba, on the cusp of a revolution which will have political repercussions right up to the present day with a bitter US embargo.
Marlene in Havana features music of the 1930's Weimar Republic inspired by the love of exotic Latin settings for films, as well as the tangos, foxtrots , and rhumbas of the 1950's Havana cabaret scene. You can expect Dietrich hits by Friedrich Hollander from Falling in Love again, Johnny wenn du Geburtstag hast and Hot Voodoo, alongside Cuban film hits such as Siboney and the internationally beloved tango Por una Cabeza as well as the Piaf songs Dietrich loved to sing, La vie en Rose, Sous le ciel de Paris. In fact Piaf performed in the same series at the club Sans Soucis in Havana.
The musicians are internationally renowned on the London jazz scene and include Cuban jazz virtuoso violinist Omar Puente, tango maestro Julian Rowlands on bandoneon, young jazz keys player Jonny Liebeck with Jungle King Tom Mason on bass and Flavio Correa on congas.
Ann Liebeck is the internationally renowned opera singer and performer and producer of Violetta's Last Tango.
