***Transoriental Orchestra*** is a studio album by [Polish](/source/Polish_people) singer [Kayah](/source/Kayah_(singer)), released in 2013 by [Kayax](/source/Kayax).

## Background

The album was inspired by Kayah's performance at the 9th [Festival of Jewish Culture in Warsaw](/source/Festival_of_Jewish_Culture_in_Warsaw) in 2012, during which she presented traditional [Sephardi](/source/Sephardi_Jews) and [Ashkenazi](/source/Ashkenazi_Jews) [Jewish songs](/source/Jewish_music) from different regions of Europe and the Middle East, performed in a range of languages.[2] She collaborated with [Bulgarian](/source/Bulgarians) composer Atanas Valkov and various musicians of Polish, [Ukrainian](/source/Ukrainians) and [Persian](/source/Persians) origins, with whom she went on to record the songs for an album.[3] It was released on Kayah's birthday in 2013. Disc 2 includes first three songs recorded with Polish lyrics written by Kayah, a [remix](/source/Remix) of "El Eliyahu", and "Kicy bidy i bokha", de facto not a Jewish song, which promoted the film *[Papusza](/source/Papusza_(film))*.[4] The album was supported by the songs "Rebeka", serviced to Polish radio as a single,[5] and "Kondja Mia, Kondja Mia", accompanied by a [music video](/source/Music_video) filmed in [Tel Aviv](/source/Tel_Aviv).[6] Kayah went on to tour the material in Poland, Israel and Spain, among others.[7]

*Transoriental Orchestra* received favourable reviews[8] and was nominated to the [Fryderyk](/source/Fryderyk) award for the Album of the Year.[9] In 2014, it was certified platinum in Poland for selling over 30,000 copies.
