Pink Martini Featuring Storm Large

Pink Martini need no introduction, especially since the phenomenal worldwide success of their album «Sympathique» featuring their hit song «Je ne veux pas travailler», an ode to idleness raised to an art form. For nearly twenty-five years, this leading Portland band has been touring all over the world, whispering into our ears the rococo-kitsch-Latin orchestral universe which it embraces. Unclassifiable, timeless, singing in more than twenty languages, Pink Martini is a real juke-box of multicultural influences with retro, Latin and jazz sounds, and listeners never tire of their mambos, cha-cha-cha and other Technicolor® sambas.

Formed in 1994 with twelve musicians including pianist and artistic director Thomas Lauderdale and singer China Forbes, Pink Martini has its roots in classical music, jazz, and musicals from Hollywood’s golden age. The result is a lively and inspired jazz-pop, bright and full of sunshine, gathering melodies and rhythms from all four corners of the earth to create something modern. Like a musical travel journal... 

he brilliant and captivating China Forbes having decided to rest her voice, she is leaving it to the aptly-named (impetuous!) Storm Large to accompany the band on this tour. If you have not yet seen them on stage: don’t go to work, come and see them! Especially since they have invited on stage… Jane Birkin in person, Nolwenn Leroy and Christophe Willem!
