Chevrolet Bel Air, Cadillac with flames painted on the doors, many Buick and a white Ford Mustang of 1964. Hair wax, two-colored shoes and Hawaiian shirts. Original Louisiana Cajun Cuisine. Rock’n’Roll, Swing, Rockabilly, Jive and Boogie as a soundtrack for unrestrained dances. Welcome to the America of the ‘40s and ‘50s!
It is wrong, however, thinking that this phenomenon only involves an irreducible array of nostalgic retirees. Rockabillies army boasts young and passionate recruits. A singular and picturesque, absolutely intergenerational and intercultural humanity, which age varies between 16 and 60 years old. Here you can meet people who in their daily life are saleswomen, plumbers, designers, hairdressers, but also lawyers, surgeons and well-known professionals.
