I’m Orjen Ridanovic, founder and lead guitarist of Oridano, an instrumental jazz band from Zagreb, Croatia.
For over fifteen years, we have been exploring music beyond the boundaries of a single genre.
Our music reflects our journey, uniting Croatian traditions with blues, rock, swing, and jazz, infused with Mediterranean passion.
Guided by my lead guitar, each ensemble, whether an intimate guitar duo, an energetic trio, or the full ensemble, channels the timeless spirit of Django Reinhardt and the golden era of European jazz, a central influence in shaping Oridano’s distinctive voice.
For me, every performance is more than just music – it is an authentic, heartfelt exchange with the audience.
This is what makes it unmistakably Oridano!
