17 Hippies

Based in Berlin, Germany, the 17 Hippies started off in 1995 as a trio playing the otherwise unlikely mix of Cajun and melodies from East Europe. Gradually, they expanded their line-up and eventually ended up as an orchestra consisting of around fifteen musicians. Coming from different backgrounds like rock, jazz and classical music, the band members assimilated virtually any musical style available and blended all of this into their own unique sound.
