Cabaret Rock

Cabaret is a French word for the taprooms or cafes, where this form of entertainment was born. The first cabaret was opened circa 1881 in Montmartre, Paris. This playlist explores modern music with a decidedly "cabaret" sound. Accordions, violins and artsy weirdness can be found in this music, and it will give you an overwhelming urge to wear feathers, drink absinthe and dance on a table without reserve.
