Swiss collective Imperial Tiger Orchestra brings a modern, experimental edge to the “Golden Age” of Ethiopian music (1969–1975) on Mercato. Far from a simple tribute, this double-vinyl compilation blends traditional Ethiopian grooves with intricate, punchy modern Jazz, Funk, and electronic elements. Featuring intense, horn-heavy, and fiercely rhythmic. Expect a mesmerizing mix of traditional African melodies infused with post-rock aesthetics and raw Jazz improvisations. A double vinyl release serves as a career-spanning compilation (originally released as a 12-year anniversary edition), gathering studio recordings and high-energy live performances captured across the globe between 2009 and 2015.
