Last Thursday night we casually joined the Rap Electro Rock concert at the National Gallery park in Amman. An excellent line up thrilled the crowd with DJ Sotusura, Tarweej who we missed unfortunately, Ramallah Underground rapping their inspiring words out, and Orange Blossom, who just blew me away!!
I had never seen this Nantes based band, Orange Blossom perform before. But I will track them down every chance I get. I want their albums and I want to catch them live anywhere I can. They were exciting and powerful in sound, lyrics and stage presence. Their French-Algerian vocalist Leyla Bounous could easily lead a revolution.... and I would follow her to the end of the world and gladly fight for her cause! Respect.
Know more about Orange Blossom on their MySpace page and listen to them talk about their work in this vid below.
Thank you to LeCentre, OrangeRed and the eclectic crowd (including the perves) that packed the park that night to make it absolutely fantastic every sip of the way. You guys rock!
