As the music builds, you’ll find yourself hanging on to every word, feeling the tension, and experiencing the thrill of a “Close Call.” This song is more than just a piece of music; it’s an emotional narrative that connects with the human experience.
Bij een Surinaamse band wordt waarschijnlijk niet snel gedacht aan de bijzondere show van D’Orkest. Hun eigen repertoire, gezongen in het Portugees, Frans, Engels en traditionele Aukaans voert je mee door de meest uiteenlopende muziekstijlen. Met invloeden uit geheel Zuid-Amerika en uiteraard Suriname; van Rock tot Reggae, van Funk tot Indie-pop. Het 8 koppige D’Orkest weet in hun show de diverse muzikale en culturele roots samen te laten komen in een meeslepende show die niet te weerstaan is. Deze zomer is D’Orkest in Nederland voor hun debuut op speciale uitnodiging van het Amsterdamse Kwaku Festival. Een uitgelezen kans om ook Groningen en Em2 te laten genieten van een ongetwijfeld swingend en overgetelijk optreden.
The band is booking more and more international shows.
In July, we will be playing at KWAKU Summer Festival in Amsterdam. Be sure to get your tickets in time.
We are working hard to deliver you an unforgettable experience!
