Description

This is footage of famed black American dancer and comedian Josephine Baker on stage, and, as much as anything, it gives some idea of the high octane energy and electric vitality of her performances. Mostly expatriate mostly in France, Josephine arrived in Paris in 1925 to make a sensation in 'La Revue Nègre', capped the following year at the Folies Bergère by her 'Danse sauvage' (Banana Dance). Enjoy!
