Australian bands to come for Istanbul performance


The Melbourne Ska Orchestra and Sietta will perform for Istanbulites on three consecutive nights as a part of "Australia in Turkey 2015", a program that is organized with the kind contributions of the Australian government and the Embassy of Australia in Istanbul. Known as MSO internationally, Melbourne Ska Orchestra was founded in 1993. Composed of 35 prestigious musicians from Australia, the orchestra takes over the stage with its 15 members. Apart from their appearances at the most important festivals around the world including Glastonbury and Montreal Jazz Festival, the orchestra also gave sold-out concerts in London. Bringing a breath of fresh air to the music stage with their colorful and dynamic ska culture, the orchestra is known for their brave mixes and tempting melodies. Composed of musicians James Mangohig and Caiti Baker, Sietta stands out with its sound, which blends soul, blues and hip-hop. Following their acclaimed first studio album "The Seventh Passenger," the band became one of the most sensational breakouts in the music industry with their second album "The Invisible River." The band, which has an outstanding and different atmosphere along with an inspiring understanding of lyrics and music, is regarded as one of the most important representatives of the Australian music industry.When: Sept. 4-6Where: Garajistanbul
