ABOUT
Flamboyant brass, smashing percussions, virtuoso accordion, and racy vocals! Welcome to Haïdouti Orkestar’s world, which has been traveling for twelve years at the crossroads between the Balkans, Turkey, and the Eastern World.
While co-signing with Ibrahim Maalouf the original soundtrack of the movie "La Vache" ('The Cow') by Mohamed Hamidi, starring Lambert Wilson and Jamel Debbouze, the Orkestar made its entrance into the 7th Art and blew away the Closing Ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival 2016.
The fruit of an original cocktail made by French, Greeks, Bulgarians, Turks, and Gypsy Serbians, the Haïdouti Orkestar spreads its love for the music of the people, exploring Kurdish, Azeri, and Armenian music as much as Syrian, Lebanese, and Gypsy ones. Their forthcoming album "Babel Connection," which will be released on April 28th, can be then considered as a musical Babel built among their travels and meetings across the Middle East.
Strengthened by its notoriety, the Haïdouti Orkestar confirms its role as an ambassador of a multicultural France & Europe. At a time when the temptation for community withdrawal is huge, the band affirms its desire to open itself widely to different cultures. Some build walls at their borders; the Haïdouti Orkestar, on the other hand, transcends them.
