Torbjörn Langborn and the Feel Life Orchestra

Mexico, Peru, Surinam, and of course Sweden: in 1986, musicians from around the world responded to the Swedish composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist Torbjörn Langborn’s invitation. His idea was to bring together the two groups he played with — a jazz quintet, and his salsa ensemble. The cocktail was explosive: after several days recording at the Humlan studio in Stockholm, Torbjörn Langborn and the Feel Life Orchestra produced an eponymous album, combining, in Langborn’s words, “disco and funk with congas and Batá percussions.” It's a three-part gem nearly seven minutes long: Feel Life, where he gives free rein to his talent as a jazz pianist. Thirty years later, we asked the famous remixer Dimitri from Paris to express his talent to produce a new version of this classic music track. "Pardonnez-nous", here it is.
