een dansavond ten jare 1942? het kan!
With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully, or desperately, toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. But, not everybody could get to Lisbon directly, and so a tortuous, roundabout refugee trail sprang up - Paris to Marseilles... across the Mediterranean to Oran... then by train, or auto, or foot across the rim of Africa, to Casablanca in French Morocco. Here, the fortunate ones through money, or influence, or luck, might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon; and from Lisbon, to the New World. But the others wait in Casablanca... and wait... and wait... and wait.
And while we all just wait at "Rick's Café Américain", we can have a swingin' evening ;-) filled with jazz, jive, jitterbug, lindyhop, bop 'n roll and so much more by a sizzling wizzling dj-set from The Balcony Jumpers !
