Come celebrate Mardi Gras with The Lake Geneva House of Music and The Southern Stop! New Orleans inspired food, music, and libations.
Yves Francois was born in 1960 to immigrant parents. His mother, of French descent, was a Prima Ballerina before emigrating to the United States from Tunisia. His father was a music aficionado, and played clarinet. Yves first became enthralled with jazz upon hearing Louis Armstrong play the trumpet when he was 3 years old. The music spoke to his soul, and after Louis Armstrong died, he begged his parents for a trumpet and after two years they finally relented. As Yves expanded his musical knowledge, he became fascinated with the different rhythms and instruments that built the foundation for the jazz music we know today. He began to explore World Music and put together a large performance and dance band celebrating different world cultures. Rocambu Jazz is known for its Retro Afro-Caribbean Grooves, such as Congas, High Life, Rumbas, Soukous, and New Orleans Jazz.
