Forbidden City: Shanghai

The George Gee Swing Orchestra, the Grand Street Stompers and the Gordon Webster Sextet provide the tunes for this throwback party, which aims to re-create the atmosphere of 1930s Shanghai. Between dance tunes, see burlesque by Calamity Chang and Minx Arcana, go-go from Stella Chuu, Cheeky Lane and Bitty Bamboo, and hear a Chinese pipa performance by Zhou Yi.
