A short moment of silence, and then a gentle but enchanting voice rings out – from this moment on every room, be it a concert hall, a café or a living room, is spellbound by the world music band Saffron Sun.
The quintet, playing on only acoustic instruments, leaps with ease from lamenting Klezmer to a brisk gipsy swing: the bohemes of modern jazz, vagabonds of oriental folklore, globetrotters of music! Let them carry you away on a journey from the Hot Clubs of Paris to a boisterous Hungarian wedding, through the dimly-lit coffee houses of Istanbul straight into the noisy streets of Delhi. The delicate and varied singing of the well-traveled and charismatic singer Pernilla narrates in many different languages her magical stories of broad horizons and the many roads to the shimmering South. Eager to experiment, the band switches fluently between nifty arrangements and lively improvisations.
Saffron Sun's debut-EP “Miss Moon” embraces this atmosphere fully and invites the listener to join the table.
Saffron Sun – a plea for tolerance in a multicultural world, and an anthem to the sun and the road south.
