PINK MARTINI HAVE SOLD OVER 1 MILLION ALBUMS WORLDWIDE PLATINUM SALES IN FRANCE, GOLD SALES IN GREECE AND SWITZERLAND OVER 400K SALES IN THE USA.
Somewhere between a 1930s Cuban dance orchestra, a classical chamber music ensemble, a Brazilian marching street band and Japanese film noir is the 12piece Pink Martini.
BBC "Every song is deliciously different. You get the swing of AfroCuban rhythms, the existential sadness of Parisian caf tunes, some Caribbean calypso and then a Hollywood goldenera string arrangement, all of it polished to nearperfection, with the sassy wit of the 1930s and none of the shrinking selfparody of the noughties."
DAILY TELEGRAPH 06/10/05 "Loose, languid, lovely and lavish: New Yorkers Pink Martini sound like refugees from the 1930s, when love was a genteel contact sport. Lets Never Stop Falling In Love has daring slashes of violin over an infectious jazzy beat. You might recognise Anna (El Negro Zumbon) as having been sampled by The Avalanches before the rumba rhythm takes hold. U Plavu Zoru is hauntingly magnificent. Afrocuban vivacity, Parisian cool, calypso beats and Hollywood classics are blended into a refreshing 14song cocktail. A charming time capsule.
WASHINGTON TIMES "An original force in contemporary music"
DAILY VARIETY "No matter how Pink Martini gets described, there's always an element being overlooked, a reliance on phrases such as lounge, cosmopolitan rumba or neoclassical that only tells part of this rich story. Impressive at every musician's station, the ensemble produce music that's charming and elegant."
