New single out now “Fade to Black”
A musical ode to transience, loss and the light in the dark.
The acclaimed Surinamese music group d’Orkest returns with an intense and poetic new single: “Fade to Black.” This compelling song immerses the listener in a sonic journey through themes of farewell, memory and transformation.
With their characteristic mix of soul, ambient and alternative grooves, d’Orkest once again delivers a deeply felt work that touches the listener on multiple levels. “Fade to Black” is not just a song — it is a transitional moment, a musical threshold between light and darkness.
About the single
“Fade to Black” is about what we leave behind when the curtain falls — and about the echoes that linger. The song is minimalist in construction, with subtle electronics, whispering instrumentation and a voice that sounds like a memory.

NEW SINGLE OUT NOW “WASTING TIME”
Optreden EM2 confirmed / new single release
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.
D’orkest booked for Kwaku Festival on July 30th
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!
