review:
The brilliant and somewhat enigmatic group OK Star Orchestra plays instrumental
music that is hard to define. Music that comes sneaking up on you like a predator on
the savannah. At a distance harmonic and restful but at a closer range full of force
and bite.
The group members all have long backgrounds in a wide variety of styles. You could
say there are obvious african elements in OK Star Orchestra´s music but just calling
it "african music" misses the target. There are lots of other influences and the end
result is a unique sound where simple melodies, groove and playfulness are key
words.
The records and live shows have been received with great enthusiasm by audiences
and critics alike. In 2011 OK Star Orchestra received "The Manifesto Award" for their
2:nd album "Sound Classique". The motivation read:
"Musicians with ears wide open to the world putting layer upon layer of ingredients
together in a unique mix that is brand new and yet has a familiar ring. We hear
African Hi-Life, North African Gnawa, American Blues and a touch of the Shadows -
in Greece!"
