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. The band is named after a 1920s train immortalised by Ervin Rouse and Chubby Wise's fiddle tune "Orange Blossom Special". In 1994, Éric (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 sample, and the departure of Éric. Their first disc, Orange Blossom, came out in 1997 on the Prikosnovénie label, selling 15,000 copies.
Twenty years, already, that they have been traveling the roads of the whole world, with their only luggage their instruments and their passions, their desires. They have been composing for twenty years according to their encounters, their favorites, music that is part of time, that of the memory of peoples, of secular songs.
Around the musical architect Carlos Robles Arenas, the electro-rock-oriental universe of Orange Blossom flourishes today with the arrival of a new singer from Egypt, Hend Ahmed Hassan, a voice of sunshine which vibrates with all its breath and pierces the soul. The voice of a generation that has risen.
Cast: Carlos Robles Arenas, Pierre-Jean Chabot, Hend El Rawy
