:: Pink Martini - Sympathique

Pink Martini

Whether your last CD purchase was Turbonegro or Madonna, this release by Pink Martini is a close to a must have as one could recommend. Hauntingly lead by the cosmopolitan voice of China Forbes the band [ for lack of a better word ] became semi popular late last year with the release of their second album ‘Hang On Little Tomato’. ‘Sympathique’ was initially recorded in 1997 and is now presented as a re-release. Hard to classify yet harder to not thoroughly enjoy, one listen conjures up images of Cuban dance parties, screaming jazz clubs, authentic Italian restaurants and classic film noir - it’s a dancehall load of piano, cello, trumpet, percussion, harp and more that brilliantly brings together serious musicianship and serious fun. Discover for yourself the 14-piece ensemble that is Pink Martini….please.
