'We were basically messing around with the idea of creating our own flavour of Afro-punk', mentions composer Pierre ChrГ©tien, 'something with the fierce, in-your-face energy of punk rock or free jazz, but still backed by the soulful, hypnotic grooves of tropical music.' The band continues to evolve its sound as well, drawing on a broad palette, from its trademark Latin, Afro and Caribbean styles to some of the cross-pollinated UK sounds of the early '80s, the era of The Clash, The Police, 2-Tone and frontline reggae. Always known for its uncompromising social and political messages, the Canadian collective hits harder than ever on these nine new tracks, outing the hypocrisy of modern day politics, abuses of power by law enforcement, and the everyday struggle of the working man. The Souljazz Orchestra returns with a brand new studio album for our troubled times, Chaos Theories.

Since first arriving on the scene at the turn of the millenium, the Souljazz Orchestra has never stopped pushing the limits of its signature sound: an explosive clash of soul, jazz and tropical styles, unleashed by blaring majestic horns, dusty vintage keyboards, and an arsenal of earthquaking percussion.
