Orange Blossom

Orange Blossom is a French electro-world fusion band known for blending hypnotic beats, global sounds, and poetic storytelling. Formed in Nantes during the 1990s, the group orbits around core members Pierre-Jean Chabot (violin/electronics) and Carlos Robles Arenas (percussion/vocals), who mix Arabic and African musical traditions with electronic experimentation and punk-rock energy. Their tracks like "Ya Sîdi" (featured in Netflix’s *Marseille*) and "KHALIK" showcase their signature style of swirling darbuka rhythms, haunting violin lines, and socially conscious multilingual lyrics.

With releases like *Under the Shade of Violets* and *Everything Must Change*, Orange Blossom has built a reputation for trance-inducing live performances and cross-cultural collaborations (they’ve worked with Egyptian rapper Zap Tharwat and Tunisian vocalist君が代). Their "Blossom Live Sessions" series and recent *Magic Singles* EP prove they’re still masters of turning ancient sounds into modern dancefloor spells. Just don’t call it “ethno-techno” – this crew’s genre-blurring magic defies easy labels.
