COSTUME CELEBRITE DEGUISEMENT AMY WINEHOUSE
Amy Jade Winehouse, née le 14 septembre 1983 et morte le 23 juillet 2011 à Londres, est une chanteuse et auteur-compositrice-interprète britannique, connue pour sa voix caractéristique rappelant celles d'Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan ou encore Dinah Washington. Elle rejoint d'autres figures de la musique mortes à l'âge de 27 ans comme Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain ou encore Brian Jones mais également le bluesman Robert Johnson, intégrant ainsi ce que l'on nomme le Club des 27.
Sa toute première édition a lieu le 9 août 1997. De 2001 à 2005, la manifestation est intégrée aux Fêtes de Genève. Elle est ensuite programmée début juillet pour se démarquer des Fêtes de Genève et de la Street Parade de Zurich.
La Lake Parade est suivie de la Lake Sensation, qui se déroule sur la rade au niveau du parc de la Grange et du parc des Eaux-Vives. C'est le terminus des chars qui stationnent toute la nuit pour continuer la fête.
-------------------------------------------
Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer and songwriter. She was known for her deep expressive contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul (sometimes labelled as blue-eyed soul and neo soul), rhythm and blues, and jazz.
The Lake Parade was a large Technoparade which was organised every year from 1997, on month of July, in Geneva on the quay of Lake Geneva.
The Parade typically starts at parc Mon Repos, on the right side of Lake Geneva. People wishing to participate actively in the Parade, by being on one of the Lovemobiles, should be there at 2:00 PM if they want a chance to get on one of the mobiles. The Parade starts moving at around 4:00 PM and moves slowly along the quay to the other side of the lake right up to the Quai Gustave Ador. There the Parade stops and the night continues with the Lake Sensation.
Every year there are up to 20 Lovemobiles. Generally each one is sponsored by a different company who decorates the Mobile with its colors. Pioneer once decorated a Mobile using large plasma displays. Each Mobile will generally have several DJs but who shall often play the same kind of music, the most common ones being Techno, Trance, Electro and House. The company sponsoring the Mobile can also insist that those wishing to ride on it wear a certain color theme so as to give a uniform look to the car.
