ORIENTE Musik is a project of music enthusiasts for music enthusiasts.
The name ORIENTE not only stands for some kind of exotism but for our program's general intention.
Always keeping an eye and an ear open for interesting music with integrity, we range in our coverage from the eastern province of Cuba to the Indian subcontinent, from Klezmer to Tango, from cabaret singers to wedding bands.
We are not fixed on a certain genre, but on a certain quality of and a certain approach to music; if you want to pigeon-hole it, you might call it 'world chamber music'.
ORIENTE also represents orientation in a scene defined by enthusiasm and honesty, which is constantly under threat of becoming streamlined and shallow.
Being both realistic and optimistic, we are inclined to issue only music that hits our hearts and therefore we strongly believe to hit the hearts of many others.
