Oranga Tanga

Oranga Tanga began their journey as Brevard Busking Coalition near the end of 2008, six long-time friends who happened to be musicians and had never tried playing together as a band. Five years and almost 150 shows later, they found themselves enjoying success far beyond anything they could have expected from a half-dozen musical weirdos who just wanted to see what it would sound like, and for that they thank all of their friends and fans.

As some of you know, brYan Tilford, one of Oranga Tanga's members, passed away in 2014, leaving five survivors and countless people heartbroken. Their continuing efforts were never in doubt; they're still five brothers in sound, marveling along with their audiences at the noise they make, even though it has changed with brYan’s absence. They can still hear his voice ghosting in their harmonies, and his melodic flourishes in their arrangements, but they continue to grow and adapt, as they've done for the last five years.

"Every band is a novel in constant progress. To honor brYan’s contribution, we’ve decided to end the chapter on Brevard Busking Coalition, and begin a new one with a new name — Oranga Tanga."
