ZAPPANALE 2017 - PART 04 - ORCHESTRE TOUT PUISSANT MARCEL DUCHAMP


Swiss band L'Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp performed at the latest edition of the Zappanale festival on Sunday, July 16, 2017.

Despite the weather conditions, OTPMD showed where the 'orchestre tour puissant' in their name comes from : African rhythms, repetitive marimba lines, chants and trance.
Combined with the fragile voice of the lead singer, it resulted in a laid back feeling that everybody enjoyed. No wonder that it stopped raining.

Perfect for a festival. Especially on a Sunday afternoon.
Too bad that didn't add a Zappa tune to their repertoire. Could have been nice.


For the occasion, the ensemble performed as OTPMD XXL with extra violins and a cello.
I didn't count them, but I guess they had ten or even twelve people on the stage.

Here's a snippet :


The concert got recorded by the Arf Society, was put on DVDR and made available in very limited quantity during the festival.
