Folies Bergere, 1920's, Josephine Baker becomes the muse of the Cubists who venerate her style and her forms, causing the enthusiasm of Parisians for Jazz and african-american music.
Her "célèbre ceinture de bananes" was part of a hyper dance she became famous for. She made the audiences heads spin with her movements and the fact that there was not much she would wear on besides a big number of pearly collars, bracelets and anklets that not only made her look impressive but which percussion provided a particular soundtrack to her body and her moves.
