Dixie Gang

A Dixie Gang show is like a voyage on a boat along the Mississippi at the beginning of the last century. It is a glass of bootleg bourbon during prohibition, which should always be drunk while dancing. The Dixie Gang was born from a passion for traditional New Orleans jazz (also known as Dixieland). The group first performed in 1991 at the Ritz Club, in Lisbon. Since then they have performed in innumerable different settings and released three CDs: Jazz Me Blues (1999), Pimenta da Terra (2005) and Um Quarto do Século (2017), the latter to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Dixie Gang will perform on the garden of the Lisbon Museum – Palácio Pimenta, in the second of two concerts of the 2025 edition of Alvala’arte festival.
