Orange Blossom
With a wide range of guest artist contributing to their albums, such as Yelemba drummers, Abidjan dancers and Egyptian musicians, Orange Blossom caught the attention of the world music lovers at an international scale.
Orange Blossom’s music references past and future, crosses cultural and linguistic borders. Laced with infectious Arabic choruses, lifted by lush strings and tempered by the dark, driving beats...
French – Algerian lead singer Leila is a woman with a timeless, evocative voice. Violinist PJ, French-born and classically-trained, is an ex-punk with a healthy disrespect for technique. Percussionist Mathias was raised in France but reborn among the people and instruments of West Africa. Drummer, arranger and programmer, Carlos is a dreadlocked Mexican with a well-worn passport and a taste for musical adventure.
