Harissa Boudoir Orchestra are three musicians and a gorgeous belly dancer live on stage with percussion and bass loops.
Russian ballet and Arabic grooves combined to create a sparkling night of magical entertainment. Whether you're a rock head, classical fan or jazzer you'll love how Harissa blends their spices.
Leo and Bruce arranged the repertoire. Bruce recorded bass parts, played percussion and sequenced traditional Arabic percussion loops. He recorded orchestra double bass players and incorporated their performances into the band's soundscapes.
