Orkestra Del Sol’s Top Trumps
12 August 2010 at 9:00pmat The Queen's Hall
Edinburgh favourites Orkestra del Sol continue their explosive reinvention of the brass band format in a brand new show. Soaring horn lines, mournful melodies, rolling middle-eastern rhythms, Guca-worthy trumpet solos and New Orleans sass are expertly worked into a performance bursting with anarchic humour, wildly skilful musical arrangements and a roguish sense of theatre. But who will emerge as Top Trump? Join the Orkestra in a frenzy of high-speed riffs, ridiculous musical challenges, one-upmanship and brass bravado the like of which has not been witnessed since the Top Trumps craze of 1980.
