Saffron Sun

Saffron Sun is a centipede in the world; travel with the Hot Club of Paris to a Hungarian wedding, through the balmy coffee houses of Istanbul to the busy streets of Delhi, and everything in between. This musical caravan is a tribute to both the adventure on the road as the poetry of everyday life, a plea for tolerance in a global multicultural society and an ode to the sun and the way south.

The band has its roots in the fertile soil of the ArtEZ Conservatory in Arnhem, where Nilla (violin and vocals) and Luke (guitar) studying Jazz and Pop. Michael followed the classical accordion training, then he played many Balkan and klezmer music. Rico (bass) is a trained jazz bassist. Philip (percussion) played guitar in the folk band Omnia.

Saffron Sun allows you dancing through hot summer nights and warms you like a hot, spicy cup of chai in the dead of winter - because even if it's snowing outside and rushes on stage the sun shines.
