The Return Of Bongo Fury

Tuesday night's Bongo Fury show is fast becoming the coolest night of the week to stay up late, have a drink and ogle the burlesque beauties that are the feature of the show, and it's right here at Harvelle's - your entertainment destination - in Santa Monica.

Walter Davis - on saxophone - leads the proceedings, and the urban-afro-samba that he elicits out of his jazz-centric quartet coaxes the aforementioned beauties onto the stage and into the crowd for your pleasure. DJ Daylight spins brazilian beats and current club funk in between sets and into the night.

Bongo Fury : Dancer? I didn't even know her!

Tonight: The return of Carolina Cerisola!!! Fresh from her performance on ABCs "Superstars Of Dance", the beautiful and dangerously talented Carolina is not the only dancer on tonight's bill. Also - for your pleasure - Zepha, a greek goddess with knock-out legs and a backside fit for even the most discerning connoisseur of that particular muscle. Of course, the incomparable Walter Davis on sax and flute leads the Bongo Fury orchestra through the night's improv afro-cuban jazz. DJ Daylight spins funk, brazilian beats and acid jazz for your dancing pleasure deep into the night. Toledo Diamond might sit in if he feels like it.

X-Rated?!?! : The Night Known As Bongo Fury

Bongo Fury, the weekly live music and dance collaboration at Harvelle's, features the hottest burlesque dancers in the world every Tuesday night. The vodka was Rated X, and the performance was just as provocative, as Erin (dark hair) and Jade (red hair) wowed the crowd with heavenly curves, gymnastic gyrations, table-top dances and mad crazy sex appeal. The incomparable Walter Davis led his quartet, (Bjørn Fleuren (bass), Asa Watkins (drums) and the amazing Victor Orlando on congas and bongos), through 3 sets of electric latin/afro-samba jazz and funky soul. DJ Daylight provided the between sets entertainment, spinning his selection of funk and brazilian beats. 

Bongo Fury : Fresh for 2009

Beautiful burlesque dancers, live afro-samba jazz, DJ Daylight on the wheels of steel... the first of 2009. Tonight the return of Dakota and the command performance of Erin (above)... The incomparable Walter Davis leads the cabaret.

Bongo Fury : The Pre-New Years Eve

Shhhhhhhhhhh.... it's Bongo Fury. 

The city's coolest secret burlesque night, featuring the live afro-cuban samba of the city's coolest 4 piece group, led by the incomparable Mr. Walter Davis (sax, flute) with Victor Orlando (bongos/congas), Asa Watkins (drums) and Bjørn Fleuren (bass).

The night's secret lies in the ultimate beauty of the 2 featured dancers. With a wealth of L.A.'s best of the best dancers in his Rolodex™ the night's dancers always rate "10"s all around. Breathtakingly beautiful, scantily clad, shaking, jiggling, writhing on the floor, these women are from all over the world, but now they're here.

In between sets DJ Daylight spins soulful wax and Brazilian beats.

An Awesome Night @ Bongo Fury

There's something very cool about being out on a Tuesday night. And if you're watching burlesque dancers, it can be downright subversive! This past Tuesday night Bongo Fury brought the crowd out; drinking, dancing and witnessing both club fave Annika, and the voluptuous Nina (lower right) shake their groove thangs.

Walter Davis - the master of ceremonies - led his white-hot group through 3 sets of terrific urban jazz alternating between his alto and baritone sax (with a bit of flute). Holding it down were the guys - Asa on drums, Bjorn on bass and Victor Orlando on congas and bongos. DJ Daylight on the wheels of steel kept the party going in between sets, and had the dance floor sweaty and crowded. Our man Toledo sat in with the band on a couple of numbers, perpetrating his gritty soulfulness while smoking cigarillos.

If you missed it - come see it live and up close for yourself next Tuesday.
