Orilla is a highly creative musical duo comprised of two accomplished musicians from diverse backgrounds: Catalan-Spanish singer/multi-instrumentalist Ona Kirei and Colombian-American bassist Alejandro Arenas. Their musical philosophy is rooted within the minimalistic instrumentation of voice and bass, allowing great freedom of expression and spontaneity. Their music touches on a wide variety of styles, always including tight arrangements and spontaneous improvisation. Like the meaning of the Spanish word "orilla" (where the ocean meets the sand), the combination of these two accomplished musicians produces a rich musical ecosystem.
