About the band

One of the very few vintage jazz bands in Portugal, 24 Robbers are well known on the dance-floors of lindy hop, where their swinging groove makes it hard to stop dancing.

Though in 2015 when the band was first formed, it was meant for dancers only, lately 24 Robbers are reaching to way broader audiences from festivals to TV awards, from big stages around the country to more intimate private events.

This international group, that truly appreciates the art of swing, is heavily influenced by such names as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and many other great stars from the 1920s to the 1940s.
