Sweden's OK Star Orchestra returns with their third album entitled »The Beat and the Melody«. And
it is a title that says quite a lot about the music. Beat AND melody.
There are obviously some African elements in the music of OK Star Orchestra. But they mix it effortlessly with blues, jazz, rock and Nordic music. And this time they even include some Japanese sounds. Listen to their brilliant remake of the Sixties hit »Sukiyaki«!
OK Star Orchestra has grown twice as big since the last album. The original trio was Tommy Galento, Mistah Christah Lyssarides and Perry Vallgren and now they are joined by Lina Langendorf (saxophon), Hassan Bah (kongoma) and Thomas Dawidowski (bass).
