Orkestra Del Sol – Lung Capacity

Posted in music with tags , , on April 18, 2011 by 3nipples

i discovered Orkestra Del Sol yesterday as a result of following Hidden Orchestra on Facebook. Joe Acheson of that group has produced this, their third album Lung Capacity which is released today

this is what their press release has to say about it:

Orkestra del Sol is very much a live experience, as anyone who has seen their inventive performances will testify. With a line up of trumpet, trombone, saxes, clarinet, sousaphone, accordion and two drummers, and vast experience performing at prestigious street arts festivals internationally, Orkestra del Solʼs shows are legendary, full of virtuosic musicianship, wit and energy. It is always a challenge to reproduce something of this onto CD, but Lung Capacity rises to this challenge and conquers it head on.

here is their rather entertaining video for This Is Honkstep

Lung Capacity is out now and can be purchased here
