The 12-year anniversary edition of
Imperial Tiger Orchestra
's
Mercato
includes the best of both albums
Mercato
(2011) and
Addis Abeba
(2010). Remastered with bonuses live recordings in London, Paris, Addis, Tokyo, and Cape Town. Imperial Tiger Orchestra, the finest connoisseurs and grooviest performers of Ethiopian music from the golden age. Back in 2007 in underground Geneva, band leader
Raphaël Anker
decides to gather musicians for a one-off live performance revisiting the golden age of Ethiopian music. A memorable event that forced all the musicians to carry on. As Imperial Tiger Orchestra. Consisting of members with very diverse backgrounds (free jazz, noise experimentations, contemporary music, twisted pop...) the Orchestra soon travels to Addis-Abeba where they perform with local luminaries and deep learn about the large diversity of Ethiopian music. A life-changing experience which brings them back to the studio and to a plethora of successful gigs around Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, and Africa. The Tiger's unique sound is a mesmerizing re-interpretation of Ethiopian music's golden age mixed with the digitalized themes that appeared in the '80s and filtered through their eclectic influences, a sort of retro-futuristic and progressive Ethiopian rock. This 12-year anniversary edition brings back thunderous rhythms and feverish hooks, down tempo moments and fast paced epiphanies, electronic sounds and ambient nirvanas.
