The Puppini Sisters « The Birthday Party »

The Puppini Sisters present their “Birthday Party” at New Morning in Paris on 17 December 2026. Formed in London around singer and arranger Marcella Puppini, the trio has brought close-harmony singing back to the fore in the style of the 1940s, with a keen taste for tight harmonies, swing and vocal jazz. On stage, their trademark lies in finely crafted arrangements, a strong sense of counter-melody and a choral energy that makes retro cabaret and revisited pop converse with one another.

Their repertoire draws on American standards and show tunes, but also on unexpected reinterpretations — from Blondie to Kate Bush and The Smiths — transformed into swing versions without pastiche. Between rearranged covers and original songs, The Puppini Sisters unfold a panorama that spans their albums, from Betcha Bottom Dollar to The High Life and Dance, Dance, Dance. The concert is conceived for fans of vocal groups as well as for those curious about reinvented pop, where timbres and harmonies answer one another with precision, in a consciously vintage aesthetic that always serves the music.
