collective vision orchestra: kraut | post punk | african rhythms | world
Back for the second time:
Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp from Genève, is a perpetually evolving ‘orchestra’, loosely modelled on the great 20th-century African groups like Tout Puissant Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou and tipping its hat to revolutionary French artist Marcel Duchamp. New album 'Ventre Unique' (Bongo Joe Records, November 2024) – their sixth, and the successor to 2021’s acclaimed 'We’re Ok But We’re Lost Anyway' – is as exuberant as it is emotionally fraught with a dream amalgam of folk, krautrock, post-punk and African rhythms that feels both uncluttered and beautifully organic.
