ORILLA'S DEBUT ALBUM
DARING FLOWER
ORILLA'S DEBUT ALBUM
Orilla's debut album is, as the title says, a collection of 'daring flowers', each one different in color, texture, and shape, collected from a wild landscape where creativity grows freely.
The lush title track gives way to a barren, yet hopeful landscape on the minimalistic 'Inútil Paisaje'. The ground turns fertile on the ethereal 'The Whale and The Baobab' and all the colors are displayed on the joyful 'Dona de Mar'. From the intimacy and elegance of the voice and the bass of 'Something', to the solemnity of 'El Cant dels Ocells' where a choir proudly sings, this album is a brave music statement that pushes the the stylistic boundaries of jazz, pop, European, and Latin music.
Bio
Orilla (O-ree-yah) is co-led by the Catalan-Spanish singer/multi-instrumentalist Ona Kirei and Colombian-American bassist Alejandro Arenas.
Like the meaning of the Spanish word orilla; where the ocean meets the sand, the combination of these two accomplished musicians produces a rich musical ecosystem: Latino and European roots mix with American culture giving way to a uniquely creative multicultural sound. Orilla captivates audiences with their warm, vibrant and expressive sound, varied repertoire, and outstanding musical skills.
Their debut album "Daring Flowers" will be released at the end of July, and presented at the Firehouse (Ruskin, FL), and The Studio@620 (St. Petersburg, FL).
