kelly takunda orphan"Kelly Takunda Orphan has been on a long and wondrous musical journey beginning with her Armenian roots to the percussion driven music of West Africa, Zimbabwe and the Caribbean. This, her first recording, reveals a rare breed of musician who carefully and respectfully fuses together music of disparate cultures. The vocals are warm and lush-the rhythm tracks will make you want to dance!"

Linda Tillery
  singer, percussionist,
  cultural historian

....and on a personal note....Some of you have been emailing me, asking what's been happening, why The KTO Project hasn't been performing recently. Well, to answer that question, check out the following website: www.orphanmartinez.shutterfly.com

I got married to percussionist extraordinate, Silvestre Martinez, and gave myself the summer to relax, write new music, garden & just BE. But of course I will always be performing & teaching, so thanks for your patience-I'm back!
