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.

Get ready to rock! d’Orkest is thrilled to announce that we will be kicking off our live performances starting October 5, 2024. Join us for an unforgettable series of shows filled with high energy, your favorite hits, and some exciting new tunes. We can’t wait to see you all there and share the magic of live music once again!

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!

Op 14 juli aanstaande is het zover: de langverwachte release van onze nieuwe plaat, getiteld: WASTING TIME!

Bereid je voor op een epische muzikale ervaring die je hart zal raken. Met krachtige lyrics en meeslepende melodieën beloofd deze single je ziel te beroeren. Mis het niet. Beschikbaar op alle platformen. 

The band is ready to embark on their first international show! After months of preparation, the group is finally departing for French Guiana for a series of performances.
