Our Take

Imperial Tiger Orchestra's latest offering, "Waxin," is a whimsical journey through a musical jungle of eclectic sounds and vibrant rhythms. The album kicks off with a bang, as the opening track "Safari Ya Bamba" immediately transports listeners to a bustling marketplace in North Africa, complete with swirling melodies and hypnotic beats.

From there, the album takes us on a wild ride through a kaleidoscope of influences, from traditional Berber folk music to funky Afrobeat grooves. Tracks like "Carnaval" and "Zenalabaya" showcase the band's technical prowess, with intricate guitar riffs and pulsating percussion driving the infectious energy of the music.

But it's not all high-energy romps in the jungle – the album also has its moments of introspection and contemplation. Songs like "N’tori" and "Bobby" slow things down, allowing the listener to catch their breath and take in the rich tapestry of sounds that Imperial Tiger Orchestra has woven together.

Overall, "Waxin" is a joyous celebration of musical diversity and cultural exchange. With its infectious rhythms and irresistible melodies, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. So go ahead, dive into the world of Imperial Tiger Orchestra – you won't be disappointed.
