Little Man: Orbestra and "Los Cholitos"

United Kingdom-based Orbestra brings us today's random tune, called Los Cholitos. Orbestra began as eight classical musicians in 1989 who chose to focus on music of the world from various regions such as Africa, Colombia, Macedonia, Shetland and Spain, especially Eastern European folk music. Their instrumentation consists of clarinet, cello, bassoon, double bass, tarambuka, teppan, mbira, bamboo flute, trombone, and violin accompanied by voice. The group's name is a mashup of "orb," as in the globe, and orchestra. Los Cholitos can be found on their 1992 debut CD, Transdanubian Swineherds' Music. The song's title is probably a reference to term of endearment to a child, but it can also be used for derogatory or profane purposes.
