Light - Betray


Light is a larger than life orchestra from Toulouse, France that released its debut album The Path in 2023 showcasing some of the extreme limits of musical fusion. The band incorporates an entire classical orchestra, a large choir and a sizeable jazz ensemble which together incorporate progressive rock moments. The overall effect is tantamount to a classical orchestra that has adopted both jazz and rock elements thus bringing the world of progressive rock into ever higher levels of accomplishment. If that wasn't enough, the main writer Camille De Carvalho plays dozens of exotic instruments ranging from everything from the marimba, glockenspiel and Burmese gong to ethnic instruments like the duduk, guanzi, hulsi and bawu. The overall count of musicians is around two dozen.  From: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=12466
