Pink Martini is a multilingual "little orchestra" hailing from Portland, Oregon, that has been enchanting global audiences since its formation in 1994. Conceived by classically trained pianist Thomas Lauderdale to provide more beautiful and inclusive music for political events, the band has grown into an international phenomenon, bridging genres and cultures with its sophisticated blend of classical, jazz, and old-fashioned pop. The ensemble, featuring the enchanting vocals of China Forbes, often sings in multiple languages, offering a resonant musical tribute to the diversity of the world's cultures.

The band's repertoire spans a dizzying array of languages and musical styles, reflecting the heterogeneous backgrounds and influences of its members. With albums that feature collaborations with a variety of artists and cover songs from various countries, Pink Martini embodies a cosmopolitan flair that transcends typical music categories. Their most recent releases, including "The Rose," "The Lemonade Song," and the multi-lingual reinterpretation of classics like "Amado Mio (In Thai)" and "Bésame mucho," showcase their ongoing commitment to cultural crossing and musical exploration. Renowned for their vibrant and sophisticated performances, Pink Martini continues to be a cherished act, beloved both for their lush arrangements and their celebration of global musical traditions.
