***Le Coco Café – Josephine Baker Revue Revival!***
May 8, 2012, London

A much needed revival of black cultured entertainment comes in the form of Avant-Garde Producktions’s eclectic Le Coco Café. Showcasing on 3 June 2012, Le Coco Café launches with the Josephine Baker Revue at Rhum Jungle, Exmouth Market at 7.30pm, £12 per person before 11pm and £15 thereafter.

The Josephine Baker Revue will be a night filled with music and entertainment. Three 5 minutes performance slots of Jreena Green as ‘Josephine Baker’ and Warren Hayes as ‘Bo Jangles’ will dazzle the audience through the night.

The Josephine Revue, written, choreographed and performed by Jreena Green, aims to bring the American jazz culture, Miss Baker spearheaded, to the forefront.

Josephine Baker, dubbed ‘The Queen of the Charleston’, appeared in the world’s first all-black Broadway show, Shuffle Along. Pioneered dance with narrative and has been a huge influence for many artists today.

Avant-Garde Producktions events aim to marriage the old and new styles of entertainment in a bid to celebrate the achievements and inspiring lives of many forgotten and significant artists.
It is also a platform for upcoming DJ’s and artists to showcase their work which have been greatly inspired by past heroes.

The charismatic Cotton Club’s setting reminiscent of ‘speakeasys’ will be home to the event. The fusing of House and Disco music will offer a retro Soul Train vibe.

Le Coco Café will be hosted by Jazz Lecour and will include guest DJ entertainment from the Furious Five; Black Juice, SoulEmma, Mark Anthony, DJ GLMF, Tony Castle and H Uriah on percussion. Guest appearance on the trumpet by MLANJU.

Founder of Avant-Garde Producktions, Poette, commented: “There is nothing out there on the club scene that specifically promotes the achievements of black artists and their history. That is the reason for this. To re-inform the public of our accomplishments, contributions to the world. It’s educa-ment!”
