Orkestar Kriminal
Originali
For more than a decade, Orkestar Kriminal has created daring arrangements of old underworld ballads in twelve different languages, telling the tales of impoverished peoples the world over, driven to a life of crime. With their unique instrumentation (upright bass, trombone, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, musical saw, bouzouki, baglamas, electric surf guitar, drums, piccolo, flute, violin, accordion, organ, vocals) and a refreshing gender-mashup in their musicianship, Orkestar Kriminal has arranged some of the world's long-forgotten criminal ballads with all the fervour and gusto that they could muster. 'Originali', their first ever all-originals album has been produced by Mark Lawson.
