barSWINGona 2014

It's that time of year again when Barcelona becomes the swing capital with the 17th edition of the Barcelona Swing Festival. From Thursday to Sunday, 8.30pm to 2.30am, the Casino l'Aliança morphs into a temple for the rebels of swing and opens its doors to visitors from around the globe who will make the pilgrimage to get classes from internationally renowned instructors in a giant party filled with exhibitions where lindy hoppers dressed in 1930s and 1940s swing fashion will dance with energy and swing rhythm. Live music courtesy of Shakin' All (Thu, Fri 11pm), Spirit Jazz BAnd (Fri, Sat, Sun 9pm), La Vella Dixieland (Sat 11pm) and Double Swing Combo & Doc Scanlon (Sun 11pm).
