Biography
Orange Blossom are an exotic hybrid. Four
musicians from different backgrounds and
cultures, with different looks and sensibilities.
Lead singer, Leila:dark-eyed, mysterious,
French Algerian; a woman with a timeless,
evocative voice. Violinist, PJ: French-born and
classically-trained, an ex-punk with a healthy
disrespect for technique. Percussionist,
Mathias: raised in France, reborn among the
people and instruments of West Africa.
Drummer (and arranger and programmer)
Carlos: a dreadlocked Mexican with a dog-
eared passport and an attendant sense of
musical adventure. Together, they meld into a
sensual, glorious whole. Better get used to the
Name - Orange Blossom are about to be huge.
Their new album, Everything Must Change, is
an amalgam of European electro-beats, West
African polyrhythms, Arabic and Middle
Eastern melodies and, all-stops-out rock.
Orange Blossom create a new kind of music,
music that references past and future, crosses
cultural and linguistic borders. Music to dive in
to, bliss out to, to make you giddy, laced with
beautiful, sing-a-long Arabic lyrics, lifted by
lush classical strings and tempered by
dark, driving beats, Leftfield electro trance.
Sweet-smelling, street-smart dance music. Or,
if you like, an expression of hope and unity.
