 Not quite like anything else on the airwaves today, Pink Martini is a "little orchestra" of a band. It claims heritage from Portland, Oregon, and Harvard University, and draws musical inspiration from all over the world. They cultivate a classic vibe reminiscent of the 1940's or 50's. While they cover charming old songs like "Brazil" and "Amado Mio," China Forbes and Thomas Lauderdale also write plenty of their own material, with frequently hilarious results. As they gather members from all over the world, they regularly perform in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Arabic, Neapolitan, and many other languages. They have toured the world, and boast such impressive gigs as opening the Walt Disney Concert Hall (its first non-classical music act).Defining their music is a bit more difficult. Pink Martini is a weird postmodern classical retro-kitsch international-lounge/Tropicália jazz outfit which they themselves have described as "music for children and dogs."Whatever it is, it sounds great.They currently have seven albums: Sympathique, Hang On Little Tomato, Hey, Eugene!, Splendor In The Grass,, Get Happy,, and Je dis oui!, plus a holiday album, Joy to the World. Pages on this wiki featuring their lyrics include Wholesome Crossdresser, Song Fic, and Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Their song "Donde Estas, Yolanda?" also got a starring role in the series 3 premiere of Sherlock. Visit their website hereIn 2011 China Forbes announced that she was taking a sabbatical from Pink Martini because she needed surgery on her vocal cords (she has since returned). The band continued with guest vocalists, including the collaborative album 1969, with Japanese vocalist Saori Yuki. Their most recent album is the cheerfully titled Get Happy, featuring the return of Forbes as well as new vocalist Storm Large.
