Apelsin (Estonian for Orange) was an Estonian band created in 1974. Their lyrics are in Estonian and Russian. During the Soviet era, their LP albums were issued by the Soviet music monopoly Melodiya. The Russian name of the band was Апельсин. In both Estonian and Russian, the band's name means orange. Many songs and much of the music of the band are satirical.[1] The band's combining music with humor (both onstage and offstage) was one of the reasons the band had become one of the most popular Estonian bands of all time.[2]
The original lineup consisted of Tõnu Aare, Ants Nuut, Harry Kõrvits and Jaan Arder.[2] In 1975, Gunnar Kriik, Ivo Linna and Mati Nuude joined. During 1989–1999 the band was at its smallest, and three of the founding members, Tõnu, Ants, and Jaan, rarely played together.[4] Jaan had joined the historical music band, Hortus Musicus and Ivo and Harry had joined the band, Rock Hotel.[1]
A Swedish manufacturer of juice, Brämhults Juice [sv], launched an advertising campaign in November 2009 called "Apelsin to Jos", which means literally "Orange to Juice" in Swedish. The slogan is a pun, and the campaign consists of the stunt of sending the band to a Nigerian town called Jos.[5]
