Inspired by the great brass band traditions of Eastern Europe, Orkestra del Sol’s music exudes energy and spirit: the swagger of a Balkan wedding band, the vibrancy of a Caribbean festival and the flair of a Latin ballroom.
Welcome to the irresistible world of Orkestra Del Sol, brass troubadours with an uncanny ability to win over audiences with their captivating presence, slapstick antics and infectious energy. Globally inspired, but distilled in Scotland.
"Orkestra del Sol have raised the stakes for UK street music - they look
great, sound great and their performances are brilliantly inventive"
Bradley Hemmings – Artistic Director, Greenwich + Docklands Festivals
“Orkestra del Sol are a breath of fresh air – absolutely brilliant”
Jo Anne Good, BBC Radio London
“…remarkably precise attention to musical detail considering the chaotic nature of the show…”
