Last year, Orkestar Kriminal remixed and remastered their latest album Ryobra in it's entirely for a special vinyl release, entitled Razlomanye Ryobra ("Broken Ribs" in Russian) with a gorgeous hand-printed letterpress jacket and design by Kiva Stimac of Popolo Press, originally scheduled for release on Coax Records in March 2020. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the vinyl release and tour had to be rescheduled. We decided to organize a special livestream concert on on Monday, August 31st at 3pm at orkestarkriminal.com to celebrate and promote our vinyl, endeavouring to perform each track off of the album with 30 second instrumental interludes between songs. During these improvisational moments, we will describe and present each song in both English and French, to help our listeners grasp the lyrical meaning behind our arrangements sung in Yiddish, Greek, Russian, Spanish and Pashto. Co-produced by Pop Montréal, this performance will take place at Ministère, a Montréal venue that is fully equipped with all kinds of fancy cameras, mics and lighting to give this web-show some real, oom-pah-pah.
