Darya & Månskensorkestern is the band that made Finnish tango hip in Sweden. They have united contemporary pop artists with the old music of bygone times and created their own Swedish-Finnish musical universe where the unrequited love never seems to end. Darya & the Moonlight Orchestra is tango, steel wire rock, wistful songs and languid rock ballads to lyrics about loss and youth as flight. During Darya & Månskenorkester’s 20 years on stage, the musical journey has taken them to nursing homes in northern Finland, small Folkets houses in depopulated working areas in the Swedish countryside, to indie festivals in Helsinki, concert halls and jazz clubs. The audience has come from all the forgotten corners of society and from all ages. The musical collaborations are numerous, the band has recorded music with, among others, Frida Hyvönen, Iiris Viljanen, David Ritschard, Anna Maria Espinosa, Markus Krunegård, Anna Järvinen and Stefan Sundström. Now the orchestra returns to Fasching for the eighth time.
