About
The only problem was that he hated music! In his capacity as king, he decided to forbid his subjects from playing any music – not even so much as a note. But how could they survive without music? The answer can be found in music. The celebration of the centenary of Joséphine Baker’s first appearance in Paris has inspired Karol Beffa and Mathieu Laine to write a new episode and to venture into the world of jazz as the grumpy king discovers swing.
