A hybrid orchestra, it is a combination of jazz, big band and symphony orchestra.

"Nora"

Par sa beauté elle m’a brulé les yeux. Dommage que l’argent soit rare. A ceux dont le cœur souffre, que l’Amour triomphe de l’Oubli.

Her beauty burnt my eyes. Too bad money is scarce. Don’t let the one whose heart is moaning forget his love.
