About this listen

In Harlem, prohibition sparks the rise of the 'speakeasy' and jazz music leads to the Lindy Hop and the Charleston. Tight-fitting corsets are out and there's a new trend for loose fitting clothing that frees the body to dance. We see the birth of the flapper, personified by Josephine Baker, who later goes on to become a key player in WWII, smuggling messages to the French resistance hidden in her underwear.
