KAMA ORCHESTRA
Not your classic(al) orchestra!
KAMA Orchestra is the new shooting star of Germany’s contemporary brass music scene. The collective blends Global Beats, Funk, Jazz, and electronic club sounds to create their signature Brass Groove. With a wall-of-sound Brass Section and a driving Rhythm Section, this feel-good machine will have you dancing in a heartbeat.
The community-music driven collective first got together in freiLand culture center, Potsdam, in the Summer of 2021 and has been based there ever since. From the get-go, living diversity and connecting people from all walks of life has been a key focus of the collective. Hence, KAMA Orchestra is a place for people (or Kamatista) to gather, learn and grow by creating music, organizing festivals, producing their own merch – and by taking to the stage in various numbers. Be it small stages, big stages or no stage at all, KAMA Orchestra is always sized, dressed and vibed for the occasion.
Consequently, Kamatista wasted no time, recording their first songs in Traumton studio, Berlin, and taking to the stage in December of 2021 to general acclaim. Throughout 2022, KAMA Orchestra focused on working on more songs and played numerous concerts and festivals all across the Berlin-Brandenburg region. Their first single Legend of the Tattooed Face Woman was released in October 2022 and they went straight back to the studio to record their first album. The first half of 2023 saw the release of their first music videos for Drop of Illusion and Loony Squad, paving the road for the release of their debut album Solarpink in August 2023.
Brass sounds and electronic club sounds have long been a staple in getting crowds dancing. But only recently have the two been fused into a new sound, pioneered by brass bands such as Too Many Zooz, Meute and Fat Freddy’s Drop. KAMA Orchestra takes a leaf out of their books and ups the ante by spicing up Brass and Rhythm Sections with some extra electronic percussion. The result is unlike anything you’ve heard before, but everything you could ask for. Media have described their style as «a wild mix of all things danceable» that is «impossible to escape from» and indeed «celebrating the joy of life».
While the musicians of KAMA Orchestra always put the joy of music first, they won’t just stop at delivering a show on stage. Additionally, they have been putting great emphasis on giving back to their community by hosting their own Brassroots festival and their annual KAMABALA party, a thank you to their fans. Musically, meanwhile, it’s back to the lab again for the band who have now set their sights on writing even more material and tackling the 2024 festival season with their glitter-infused Solarpink energy.
