About this concert
Impossible de ranger Orange Blossom dans une boîte quand bien même elle contiendrait le monde, car Orange Blossom va bien plus loin que de “la musique du monde”.Electro alors ? Idem.Orange Blossom est la vision de Carlos Robles Arenas, un compositeur mexicain basé à Nantes qui a été piocher dans la tradition turque, égyptienne, malienne, sénégalaise et cubaine, avec des voix chantées en arabe, persan et portugais pour offrir au monde un quatrième album de musique actuelle, limpide et mystérieux à la fois. Attirants comme un chant de sirène, ces treize nouveaux morceaux depuis dix ans nous baladent entre un dance floor déchainé et une salle de méditation sans aucune contradiction. Si la beauté avait une bande son, il y aurait des morceaux d’Orange Blossom dedans.

Son pourri à cause de la salle et un mix bizarre, parfait par trop confus, entre le sample des précédentes chanteuses et la nouvelle qui a fourni une superbe prestation soit dit en passant ... Bref, ils repassent au Transbo à Lyon en mars 25 j'y serai rien que pour le son bien meilleur 😎

Orange Blossom Biography
Orange Blossom is a French band that plays a mix of electronic and world music.
The band was formed in Nantes in 1993 with Pierre-Jean Chabot (known as PJ Chabot) on violin and Jean-Christophe Waechter (known as Jay C.) on percussions and vocals. In 1994, Éric Chauvière (organ) joined the band and a first audio tape was recorded in september. In 1995 the band stabilized with the arrival of Carlos Robles Arenas on drums, djembé, and sampler, and the departure of Éric Chauvière.[1] Their first disc, Orange Blossom, came out in 1997 on the Prikosnovénie label, selling 15,000 copies.
Before their second album came out, the group was influenced by ethnic and traditional music. They met and collaborated with several non-French artists, like Ivorian percussion group Yelemba d'Abidjan and Egyptian group Ganoub. They toured in Egypt, France, and Belgium. Vocalist Jay C. left the band in 2000 and created prajña. In 2002, percussionist Mathias Vaguenez and vocalist Leïla Bounous joined the group. The album Everything Must Change came out in 2005 on the Bonsaï Music label.
Carlos Robles Arenas is Mexican. Leïla Bounous is part Algerian, part Breton.
